33 cl. bottle @ home, bought online @ het Biermoment. Very dark brown with a thin beige head and lots of floaties and sediment. Chocolate and sweet coffee aroma. Taste is quite bitter with more coffee shining through. Cloying mouthfeel, lots of residual sugars for sure, but strangely enough thin bodied as well. A bit one-dimensional and unbalanced.

Bottle from het Biermoment, BB 08 22. Dark color, medium frothy head. Aroma of lots of roast and dark bread, some coffee and a bit of a metallic hint. Roasty bitterness in taste, dark bread again. And when I say dark bread, I mean the darkest of the darkest. Darth Vader would say, wow that is some dark shit, eeh sith, whatever. Allison it is called at the local shop. The kind of bread that is always left at the end of the day at the bakery/supermarket. You would think they would make more volkoren/bruin bread, as that is what most people want. But no, all that is left, is the kind of bread nobody wants. Or think about a regular bittergarnituur: we all want frikadellen, mexicanos or bitterballen. And every single time we are stuck with horrible bamihappen and nasisnacks. Who eats this kind of crazy fusion kitchen catastrophes? Oh btw, the beer is quite good actually, just a bit too much liquid allison bread.

Fles gedeeld door Roelzie1986, het is een donker bruin bier met een dunne bruine schuimkraag. Het heeft een koffie achtige geur. De smaak is gebrand, koffie en een beetje peper achtig.
