UPDATED: DEC 19, 2021 --Bottled, from Systembolaget. --Almost clear golden, firm creamy head. Distinct aroma of Ethiopian coffee. Mid sweet with medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Some grain and marzipan, hidden behid the coffee, bourbon shows up and brings a peppery finish. An elegant base beer, perhaps the flavouring gets a bit much.

UPDATED: DEC 12, 2021 Gyllengul klar vätska med vitt skumlock. Sädig, degig doft med en klick av smör. Smaken levererar annan upplevelse med kaffebönor. Förvånande låg maltsötma och med en ordentligt maskerad alkoholstyrka. Men ännu en gång försöker jänkarna göra sin tolkning av ett belgiskt öl.
