Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Dark brown with lively head that keeps flowing over. Milky coffee aroma. Dryish and lively, light bodied. Mostly milky, almost lactic, some butter and spritzy coffee. Feels diluted and imperfect. Not of De Molen standards.

Bottle @ The Grove, Huddersfield. Dark brown color with red sparks. Minimal beige head. Quite odd aroma of sweet malt and fruit. Flavours of ripe fruit. A bit on the sweet side for me and the body is quite thin,

Dirty yellow-beige head, fast disappearing over reddish brown beer, hazed. End of bottle UFO-laden. Coffee, slightly salty, alginate-like, and very faint chocolate; roasted, especially after some warming up. Very smoked, very ashy flavour, and arachide, like an abandonned bartable with cigarettebutts in the ashtray, and some leftover peanuts, and reeking beerstains. Warming up, gets more typically roasted. Not very well-bodied, very dry, rather dusty MF. Special, maybe a tad too ideosyncratic.

bottle, pours redish brown with a tall tan head. Toffee, roasted malt, and light coffee aroma. Nut brown kindof flavors, dark malt, some coffee, and nutty bread notes. Carbonation is moderate to high. Very easy to drink porter.
