Boy, that's a heap of coffee, with a little cherry, citrus, toast and chocolate. If I were to quibble, I'd say you could dial back the coffee every so slightly, but it's a lovely coffee aftertaste. May need a cleanser to get me to sleep.

Bottle. As Shedshaker Espresso Black Lager. Black with a beige head that lasts OK. 3+ Aroma of sweet, good coffee, bread. Medium bodied, lovely silky texture. Lowish carbonation with a nice creaminess. Not as sweet as expected with bitterness really working its way into the palate so that the coffee doesn't dominate. Clean with that passing illusion of richness that often marks a good lager. Good brew.
