UPDATED: JUL 7, 2021 Git zwart bier met een milde crème kleurige schuimkraag. Het bier smaakt sterk naar koffie, koffie en koffie. Daarnaast is er een smaak te vinden van chocolade en donkere mouten. Het zal echt een top bier zijn, maar die smaak van koffie vindt ik persoonlijk veel te heftig.

UPDATED: JUN 2, 2021 Canned October 14th 2020. Pours black but I see some reddish highlights, nice finger of tannish foam. The smell is split between coffee and cocoa nibs with vanilla just behind. Wow, the coffee is still prominent even though it is close to being 8 months old. Cool. Cocoa nibs are almost as noticeable, vanilla is there. Foremost bitter because of the coffee, some malty sweet notes because of the cocoa. I did not expect things turning out this way given the age. It's only 5.5%abv. Smooth mouthfeel, the carbonation is a tad light at this stage. Very nice.

UPDATED: APR 10, 2021 Can shared with JFE at his place 10.04.21. Ebony. Beige head. Aroma and taste of old chocolate, coffee and pistachio. Thin mouthfeel.

UPDATED: APR 10, 2021 Black, small white head. Chocolate, vanilla, lactosis. Delightful aroma, a little disappointing taste. Shared with EO våland. Watery and sweet, still drinkable.

UPDATED: MAR 30, 2021 Canned, 330 ml shared with Max, Miro B and Tomislav. Dark brown with medium beige head. Nice coffee aroma and taste, cocoa, malty. Tad sweet. Easy drinkable, bit watery. Medium bodied.

UPDATED: MAR 20, 2021 0,355l can from Beerdome. Canned 30.9.2020. Very dark brown clear beer with quite small and quickly totally vanishing head. Aroma has coffee and cacao, malts and some nuts & bread. Flavor has coffee, nuts and some bread. Sweet caramel also. Good brown ale.

UPDATED: FEB 20, 2021 Can at home, 20th February 2021. Pours a dark chestnut brown. Aroma is coffee, dark and roasted malts. Taste is quality coffee, roasted malts, there is good brown ale character and a bitter malty edge. Pretty tasty

UPDATED: FEB 13, 2021 355ml can from Curious Liquids, Glasgow (£4.00): Deep mahogany with an opaque body that's not far off black & a tan, creamy head about 1cm tall that slowly fades to a very fine lacing over the surface. The nose is strong with espresso notes & chocolate upfront, it's relatively sweet with lactose & sugars coming through on top of an earthy, bread malt base that seems quite creamy too. Coffee & light roasted malts carry over the to taste with the chocolate sweetness showing as well; it's a smooth, very creamy beer with some earthy flavours & lactose towards the end. It was medium to full bodied, softly carbonated & silky smooth with a great balance too; a solid brown ale that wasn't far off a sweet stout.
