Pours dark brown from the bottle. The tan head fades away. Aroma is rich with chocolate. Hints of unripe plum in the background. Taste is bittersweet to sweet up front, full of chocolate and roasted grains. The roasted flavors dominate the finish. Body is fairly light, a touch too light, carbonation is mild. Overall not bad, a bit more chewiness on the palate would give this one a much higher rating.

Bottle at Erzbierschof Monday Club. Some roast, sugared coffee. Some bitterness, some sweetness, no extremes or well-defined things. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pacific Pioneer (2016+) on 19 Nov 2016 at 17:48 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8. Original review text: Bottle at Erzbierschof Monday Club. Pours dark brown. Strong coffee aroma, roasty and a little bread. Surprisingly light body, smooth without falling off. Lingering coffee on the palate. Very nice

Bottled 500ml. -Trade with CH-303 (thanks Asbjorn!). Black coloured, medium sized brownish head, light chocolate in the nose. Roasted malt, chocolate, mild citrusy hoppy and touch of wood with dry finish. Bit thin but pleasant light porter.
