Aroma is somewhat mild with some coffee. Flavour has coffee, some alcohol and salt licorice. A tad too salty. A nice slow sipper but not worth the price. Too I suppose this has been the case with all the FiftyFiftys I’ve had.

Tap at Brew By Numbers Bermondsey, as "FiftyFifty Eclipse - Coffee 2017". Black color with beige head. Aroma is aromatic coffee roast. Taste is coffee, green peppers, black chocolate, nutty. Thick mouthfeel with fine-bubbled carbonation. Very good!

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head. Aroma of coffee with light green peppers notes with some roasted/black chocolate malt notes. Taste is also dominated by coffee notes with lightly bitter roasted malt with some chocolate malt notes and light green peppers notes which are more or less pleasant. Body is full with nice creamy texture and good carbonation with no apparent alcohol notes. Enjoyable but I could have done with less green pepper notes.

Waxed bomber from Tavour, 2017 bottle. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, licorice, booze, wood, vanilla, coconut, raisin, earth. Pours black with a one finger tan head that falls into a skiff of foam after a minute. Taste is sweet, finishing with a light bitterness and a tad tart; flavors match the aroma with coconut and vanilla standing out in particular. Tastes better than it smells, not that it smells bad by any means. Body isn't as full and velvety as the best examples of the style. Really nice overall, though. Not quite up there with the best but it's definitely tasty.
