Draught from Alus Celle, Rīga. Dark brown, opaque, flat. Aroma dominated by bitter coffee and tobacco leaves. Taste is very sweet, with an over-sugared cortadito at the helm. Long brown sugar finish. Oily flat body, which loses some marks, but overall a brilliant beer and a thrill to get it in Europe.

(Tap sample @ CBC 2016 Green Session, Copenhagen) Clear dark brown pour with a small off white head. Aroma of roast coffee with some slightly green character, toasted grains, sweetish malt, vanilla. Flavour has some rather sweet but slightly thin caramel malt, toasty roast, ample coffee bean, green pepper, vanilla, light hop bitterness, kind of nutty. A thin feeling in both flavour and mouthfeel. Didn’t really do much for me at all.

Backlog. CBC Green Session 2016. Pours clear, dark brown with small, tan head. Aroma and taste of watery espresso, vanilla, caramel, some light roasted malt and nuts. Light and drinkable but not as good as I would have hoped.
