65 cl bottle (12%) @ Timo A. Bottled 02/2019 Aroma has lots of mocha coffee. Flavour has licorice, mocha, cough medicine, saltiness and mild tobacco notes. A tad too medicine-like but good still.

Pitch black coloured body with a deep oily glow of dark brown, and a thinnish very deep brown head on top, only a centimetre or so tall, but nice and layered. Deep aroma of pitted fruits, coffee (of course), alcohol, roasted malt, nuts,earth and a good deal of pure caramelised sugars with vanilla. Deep strong flavours of coffee, nuts and licorice dominate, with a lot of lactose chasing right behind and showing bunches of vanilla and grain near the end with the alcohol very strong,especially at the end. Aftertaste is robust, complex, earthy, nutty and generally full of alcohol, lactose, sugars and coffee - pungent and showing twelve percent. Overall, a nice beer throughout, but I wish I had a bottle of this that I could age for ~5 years or so, then I think it would do the trick of mellowing out the robust notes without sacrificing the body or complexity. I sampled this eight ounce pour on draught at Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 20-February-2020 for US$7,00 at the store.

Pours a pitch black colour with no head (draught). Aroma's: eoast, ground coffee, mocha, berries/red fruit. Retronasal it's sweetish, big coffee roast, light red fruit and light vanilla. Flavour is light moderate sweet and roasty bitterish. Warming alcoholfeel, but not sharp. Above medium bodied. Long finish with big roast, moderate bitter. Good, but my expectations were higher, maybe I should try it from bottle someday.

Creamy lightbrown good mostly lasting head. Black colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma.
