A prestige collaboration brew with AF Brew. Imperial Baltic Porter brewed with Kenyan coffee and smoked malt - after which the beer is aged on Bourbon vanilla.
People in the north struggle with their emotional roller coaster in the heart of Summer. It is raining cats and dogs anyways, so let's celebrate this melancholy.

Bottle shared at kermis’s. Black with light tan head. Big sweet deep roasted malts with loads of vanilla and vanilla sugar. Lactose/milky character to the sweetness as well. Some coffee berry sweetness as well as ground bitter. Mocha. Big sweet and moderate bitter. Over medium body and soft carbonation. Nice stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of (collab with) AF Brew Midsummer Melancholy on 26 Dec 2017 at 11:48 - Score: 8. Original review text: 3.9

33cl bottle. Very dark clear brown pour with a thin tan head that dissipates quite quickly. Smooth coffee and vanilla up-front, the good stuff, Founders Breakfast Stout-like, with dark chocolate, dried fruit, a bit of salt and light smoked malts following. A beer that is very much to my liking, though lacking a bit in body and texture and perhaps intensity. Well done! --- Beer merged from original tick of (collab with) AF Brew Midsummer Melancholy on 24 Jun 2017 at 18:23 - Score: 8

Smell of coffee, cocoa. Very dark colour, dark brown head. Aroma of coffee, cocoa, finish with alcohol. Very sweet. Very flat carbon, very heavy body. This tries to be a chocolate beverage.
