UPDATED: NOV 28, 2021 Black color with low beige head. Aroma: coffee, vanilla beans, chocolate mudcake, cocoa. Taste: sweetish, oily palate, vanilla, coffee, loads of dark chocolate. Full bodied, low carbonation, high bitterness. Delish, definition of winter dessert sipper.

UPDATED: MAY 10, 2021 Bottle from Struise Shop - might be 2yrs old. Cloudy pitch-black, stable, foamy, dark beige head. Powerful, luscious aroma of cold espresso, vanilla bean, cream liqueur, dried fig, date, plum, soy sauce, tobacco, molten fondant, macadamia, nougat, clove, beef jerky, fried mushroom. Taste has sweet candied fig, date & plum wrapped into a thick malty profile of milk chocolate, fondant, dark fudge & nougat. Light toasty maltiness in the middle, more pronounced bitter fondant and coffee bean, pairing well with an earthy-umami aspect of mushroom & soy, whilst creamy vanilla 'mollifies' that part somewhat. Earthy-peppery hoppy in the finish, very natural and strong coffee roast & bean mixing with tobacco, fondant and slight vanilla cream again, topped off by warming (Irish) whisky alcohol. Full body, syrupy-oily texture, soft carbonation. Ridiculously enticing and delicious, oh so heavy on the natural coffee yet offering sufficient 'creamy' malty aspects.

UPDATED: JAN 7, 2021 Backlog January 2019. Pitch black body under a nice, dense, brown head. Almost intense aroma of confectionery. Taste is sweet, malt, chocolate, vanilla and coffee. Way too pastry for me, but damn god – my guilty pleasure.

UPDATED: SEP 25, 2020 On tap @ City Beer. Black beer with a mocha head. Sweet molasses, vanilla, and chocolate. A really strong licorice aroma and flavor to this. To the point that the licorice almost dominates. Heavy on the roasted malt, some coffee notes, and a bit of soy sauce. Strong bitterness to this beer, actually. Just kind of all over the place. Not really my jam.

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2020 Big coffee, some vanilla, hint of cherry, pitch black, small brown head, sweet, bit roasty, chocolate and coffee, big cocoa, full body, creamy, soft carbonation, ashy finish.

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2020 How: bottle, BB: 05/04/22 Head: two finger, brown. Colour: black. Aroma: intense spicy expresso, tar, campfire, soy sauce, dark chocolate, some caramel, some alcohol. Rich aroma. Taste: full body, below average carbonation, oily body. Taste follows what aroma suggested. Warm. Intense spicy expresso& campfire in very long warming aftertaste. Really well aged.

UPDATED: OCT 25, 2019 Pitch black, bog foamy beige head. Smell is intense marshmallow marzipan sweetness with pungent herby bitterness. More closely you find mainly vanilla and chocolate. Metallic, with raw nuts and fresh cheese. Taste is full milk chocolate marzipan sweetness against dry herby bitterness, with some ash. Finish is astringent and crisp and quite long-lasting.

UPDATED: OCT 4, 2019 0.33l bottle. Pours jet-black with tan head. Aroma of roast, coffee, vanilla, dark fruit, molasses. Taste is vanilla and coffee up front, roast, dark fruits, dark chocolate. Good quality coffee for sure. Great.
