Can, 6.5%. Good distinct coffee aroma. Black colour, seems clear. Good semi-stable light brown head. The flavour has coffee and cream notes. Hint of salt liquorice. Creamy finish. The mouthfeel is fairly thin, but acceptable.

Pours black with small beige head. Aroma of coffee, lactose, chocolate. Taste emphasises the roasted malts and coffee in particular but the other notes are there with a little sweetness. There is a smokey element with the bitterness in the finish. Quite smooth in body and low carbonation. I don't like coffee but can appreciate the depth of this but it's not a favourite.

Pours almost black with a bubbly, quickly dissipating light brown head. Average intensity in a clean but not too deep aroma. Roasted malts, coffee grains, slight hint of red fruits. Taste has a roasted malts base, coffee and slight chocolate, with dark malts acidity a bit too much in evidence. Medium sweet and medium bitter, with a slight bitter edge in finish and aftertaste. Medium bodied with pretty low carbonation, possibily lower than it should actually be, which may also have to do with that dark malts acidity issue. The mouthfeel is overall smooth and still pleasant enough. Overall disappointing, though still very much drinkable.

Can at home. Always try to have some of these at home as they are quite cheap and really delicious and drinkable. Pours black with little head. Aroma is Dark malts, some roast, lots of cacao and coffee. Medium body. Flavour is malty and smooth, with just enough sweetness. Nice medium bitterness. Again lots of cacao and some coffee, some milky lactose roundness. Finishes a bit smokey, bittersweet and with a lingering coffee-smoke flavour. Lovely. Really amazing breakfast stout and very drinkable.

Drucken på fat på Malmö Brewings taproom. Silkeslen, bra kropp med välavvägd sötma, riktigt fina kaffearomer och smaker och till det rostade smaker med choklad. Riktigt bra och imponerande fyllig för sina 6,5%
