Coffee Gorilla

0.33l bottle from #033. Both looks and smells pretty nice this. It's a more or less deep dark Cola brown looking one this, perhaps even deeper with a nice medium sized dark latte colored head - lots of nice long curtains down the glass walls. Loaded with coffee and roasted goodness on the nose. Darker types of chocolate, something that reminds me of chili. No, it's Chipotle. A smoky almost beefy darkness with a little peppery prickle. Nice stuff. It tastes pretty good also. Perhaps a little, well not watery but mildly blend. At least compared to the aroma. It's quite softly carbonated and it's nice and oily in the mouth. There's of course lots of roasted elements here, as is a mild sweetness. The coffee is definitely present, but I actually had hoped for/expected more. A nice one! 14.10.2016

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Stas. Black with a creamy tan head. Aroma of roast, licorice, coffee, some chocolate, and a dark fruits note. Flavor is a bit sweetish, with roast, coffee, a bit of dark chocolate, and a bitter ashy finish. Medium-bodied. Good

Black with thin head. The aroma and flavour have plenty of coffee. Light sweetness. Very pleasant.

Miltei musta, vähäisesti vaahtoava olut. Mieto ja miellyttävä tuoksu on suklainen, kahvinen ja paahteinen. Maku samoin kahvinen, suklainen, leipäinen ja ennen kaikkea varsin pehmeä ja juotava. Vahva kahvinen jälkimaku on loistavasti balanssissa makeamman leipäisen maltaisuuden kanssa. Todella hieno ja juotava kokonaisuus, oikeinkin laadukas olut!

Sampled from tap at Amsterdam Craft Beer Fest 2016. Pitch black with a light brown head. Sweetish, slightly roasty aroma of coffee, dark chocolate, some hazelnut and hints of licorice. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty taste of dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla, peanut butter, toasted nuts and licorice, followed by a short, moderately roasty-bitter finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Good!
