Winter Porter Brewed with Coffee and Cinnamon, Aged On Vanilla Beans
Twilight of the Idols is our winter porter brewed each autumn with a touch of coffee, and aged on a blend of vanilla beans. This tradition—conceived with a friend in 2009 while brewing in Denmark—continues still as we present this 10th release of this beer. The name is inspired by the title of the last text written by Friedrich Nietzsche, one of our philosophical idols and a guiding voice throughout our journey.

Pours a dark, cola brown-black, with minimal head. Aroma is roasted grain, malt, chocolate, vanilla. Flavor is coffee, roasted grain, chocolate, vanilla, a touch of leather, just the tiniest hint of cinnamon. Not a particularly sweet beer, with a bitter chocolate-coffee finish.

500ml bottle pours out dark brown almost black topped with a small tan head. Nose is sweet roast malts chocolate vanilla and some light cinnamon spice. Taste is more of the nice sweet roast malts light coffee and cinnamon but an enjoyable amount of vanilla.

Pours black into a shaker. Mocha head with good retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Coffee and vanilla aromas. Soft and thin with sweet chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon upfront turning to bitter earth and espresso in the lasting finish.

Bottle thanks to Nathan Gelfam. Pours pitch black with a medium brown head. Aromas of faded coffee, tobacco, light smoky notes, sweeter notes (vanilla?), malty, roasty, chocolate, light bitter, licorice. Taste is chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, bitter, licorice, light vanilla. Pretty disappointed in this :( No cinnamon left.
