Black ale with aromas and flavours of vanilla, dark chocolate, bourbon and roasted malt. The vanilla and cocoa marry nicely, without out-competing each other, to produce a surprisingly well balanced beer. This beer is mildly hoppy, but the cocoa introduces a touch of bitterness. Its colour may be intimidating, but it is a very smooth beer within reach of most beer drinkers. This highly appreciated dessert beer is brewed with organic fair-trade cocoa and first rate vanilla beans.

Svart med svært tykt mokkafarget skum som ligger. Lukter engelsk lakris og solbær vingummi. Lett. Smaker melkesjokolade og lett bitter kaffe. Middels lang.

Bottle thanks to wombat23. Black with a frothy tan head that lingers. Aroma is vanilla, chocolate, freshly baked cake. Taste is sweet, full of vanilla. The cacoa becomes noticeable at the finish, which goes down bittersweet full of dark chocolate and birthday cake. Body is medium with a mild, understated carbonation. The strong birthday cake note puts the beer into a niche for me, it's not everyday drinking. Good stuff nonetheless.

Bottle. The colour is deep reddish brown to black with a small beige head. Sweet aroma of chocolate cake, coffee, ash and vanilla. The flavor is similar with more dark chocolate, coffee, burned wood and vanilla in the background. Slightly sour. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a medium bitterness. Filled with chocolate, tasteful and well-balanced.

Vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2017-07 getrunken. Eine wunderbare, sehr harmische Komposition aus Aromen von dunkler Schokolade, Vanilie, etwas Kokus und Kaffeenoten. Mit der Nitrozapfanlage steht die "Kaffeecrema" einfach pefekt!

On tap at Muted Horn Berlin. Wow, what a beer! Comes with a deep black color and a picturesque tan head (I love those Nitro-Taps). Fine aroma of dark coffe, roated malts, nuts, vanilla, slightly cocoa. Taste is good as the nose. Lots of dark coffee and dark chocolate. Very smooth, perfectly balanced. Yeah! Love this (and it is not my favourite style!).
