Can @ Burger Bordello. Dark brown body with a small, lacing beige head. Nice aroma caramel malt, dry fruit and quite strong coffee. Flavor is very smooth, dark brown malt, light roast, caramel, hint of dry fruit and nuts, balanced bitterness. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste where chocolate flavor seems to finish where the coffee ends. Very nice, both easy drinkable and a bit like a coffee flavored desert.

Clear brown pour, small white head. The aroma is bold and in your face. Huge raw espresso, smoke, and tobacco with some roasted nuts for good measure. Light mouthfeel, solid carb. The finish is surprisingly light, with a light bitterness. Touches of espresso with cream, and even a bit of vanilla in the finish. Nice stuff!

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thickish, three centimetre tall light brown head. Aroma of rich malts, a lot of caramelised, brown sugars with some molasses as well, but the milk, cream and coffee are noticeable, but not horribly strong in the nose at least. Medium-bodied; Strong caramelised sugars and sweetness show at first with a big hit of molasses and even some pitted fruits, but the coffee is a bit more noticeable than the nose with a light bitterness from the brewed coffee with some lactose and cream notes at the end, but a lot of sweetness. Aftertaste shows a relatively straight-forward malt character with some tobacco and earthiness along with a rustic quality, but the grain and pungency is here as well, as are the sugars, especially at the end - fairly nicely balanced throughout and worth trying, especially if you either like coffee or browns. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 13-March-2021 for US$2,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-February-2022.

Jet brown with a decent beige head. Intense dark roast espresso and dark chocolate. Dark roast and some chocolate. Not as intense as the nose and a bit thin. Decent, but I wish it were as robust as the nose.

Canned October 14th 2020.

Pours black but I see some reddish highlights, nice finger of tannish foam.

The smell is split between coffee and cocoa nibs with vanilla just behind.

Wow, the coffee is still prominent even though it is close to being 8 months old. Cool. Cocoa nibs are almost as noticeable, vanilla is there. Foremost bitter because of the coffee, some malty sweet notes because of the cocoa. I did not expect things turning out this way given the age. It's only 5.5%abv.

Smooth mouthfeel, the carbonation is a tad light at this stage.

Very nice.
