27 September 2018. Birthday Antwerp Pub Crawl - cheers to Anke! At Gollem.
Pours cloudy black with a lasting, thin, frothy, dark beige head; little lacing. Intense & very complex aroma of vanilla, soy sauce, blackcurrant, lemon even, milk chocolate, coffee & cream, kahlua, hazelnut, dates, coffee beans, apple cake with cinnamon. Medium to heavy malty sweet onset, quite chocolatey, never cloying, lots of umami notes of soy & stew to balance it out, a bit nutty; light to medium roasted bitter in the middle, hints of coffee & fondant; retronasal, sourish accents of lemon & raisin. Dry, toasty, peppery hoppy finish, lingering coffee, cream & raisin, warming whisky alcohol. Full body, creamy, not perfectly oily texture, soft carbonation. Very deep in aroma & flavour, massively tasty... one of the best!
Taster;prominent aroma of coffee,coffee bean,cocoa,dark chocolate,moderate dark sugars (molasses,caramel) & sweetness,touch of earth & alc
Not quite as good as I remembered, coffee notes are quite smooth and subtle.

Tap at Cafe Sara, 25th September 18. Pours a black beer with a nice tan head. Aroma is coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is smooth and silky, bitter coffee bean and bitter chocolate, dry finish slight dry sour. Really very good. Should be for £12.50 a half pint

Planke på Bootleggers København aug-18: brunsvart med kort skum. Heftig og begeistret aroma og smak med tonnevis av deilige dessertchokolader, luksuskaffe, bjørnebær og mørke karameller (tenk Karamelleriet i Jægersborggade!). Men Bad Luck sin Sailor's Grave var faktisk like god!

On tap. Pours black with moderate tan head. aromas of chocolate, back coffee, clean roasted malts and a bit of coconut. Flavors of nougat-y chocolate, oily and acidic black coffee, slick roasted malts and that tiny bit of coconut again. Very nice but I prefer the base Speedway so much more!
