Bottle from an SAQ in Montreal. Felt like I had to buy it, name feels quite apropos, plus it was Mikkelller and that was enough for a try (Ummm,,, beer geek after all.) Lovely coffee, sweet toasted malt, touch of cognac. Taste some bitterness, lots of toasted malts, moderate coffee, moderate sweetness. Nose is bigger than the taste, but enjoyable.

Not sure where I got this bottle, but been a while. Still, says best before 2026 on cap. Pours a dark brown colour with some light ruby highlights. The head is mocha-coloured, good retention and some decent creamy thin lacing. Lots of dark fruits in the aromas with mild liquorice, chocolate and coffee. The taste shows the roasted malt, liquorice, hints of coffee and with some nice hops in the finish with give a little grassiness, and good dryness. This cuts the richness of the malt. I do not feel the coffee comes out on its own in here, so maybe a little old, or just well-blended. Not bad, but I guess - was expecting more.
