330ml bottle @ Tim's place, Gent. Pours a clear orange, white head. Vanilla coffee dregs aroma. Big cccccccc to taste, cold press, bitter acidity.. light vanilla.. not for me.

Süßlicher Beginn, Kaffee, etwas trockene Herbe, spritzig. Weich, die Süße stört, moderat würzig, wenig Vanille. OK. 9/6/7/7/9/6

19/XII/25 - 33cl bottle, shared @ Tim’s Big Country Tick Tasting And More (home), BB: 2/X/26 (2025-1398) Thanks to Koelschtrinker (?) for sharing the bottle!

Clear orange gold beer, small big bubbled layer, not a real head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: all coffee, nothing else, maybe some mocha, more coffee, bleh. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: very malty, caramel, all coffee, sweet, gentle roast. Aftertaste: more coffee, caramel, mocha, sweet, just more coffee, meh. Not bad, but I’m just no coffee guy. So I’ll be generous with the scores.

19 December 2025. Country Tasting @ Tim’s - thanks for hosting, cheers to the whole crew!

A: clear dark golden, thinning, off-white head.
A: cold coffee, coffee & vanilla bean, roasted malt.
T: sweet vanilla, cream, bitter coffee.
F: vague floral hops, vanilla, creamy coffee.
P: medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation.
Cold brew-ish, quite okay, maybe a bit too complex attempt for this brewery.
