Bottle from Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Aroma is strong dark roasted coffee, roasted malt, touch of caramel, cocoa, touch of ash and a hint of raisins. Flavour is moderate sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Lovely intense roasted coffee aroma, however the flavour and body can’t quite match it, I’d like this to be more smooth and creamy.

Milky beige head soon left a collar on a near black still body. Full on coffee cream aroma - superb! Creamy body feel, smooth, soft & lush. This is so so smooth. Feels like velvet on the tongue. Chocolate, cream, ice cream , vanilla, coffee, malt, licorice & roasted. Reminds me of a Milk Stout.

Level 42 bottleshare. Santa is flying past and below! Thanks to Matteo. Clear deep amber beer, patchy pale tan head. Palate is light, dry and has modest fine carbonation. Mild dark malts, perhaps a trace of sweetness, hard to tell as the beer is dominated by big earthy coffee. Dry and slightly bitter finish. Earthy coffee linger. It’s a nice flavour but pretty one dimensional.
