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 pre-THT. Black with light brown head, some chunks floating around. Nutella, lots of coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, quite some spices, light roasted malts, massive caramel, light herbs. Over medium sweet and under medium bitter. Over medium bodied. Lots of adjuncts, but very good.

BOTTLE 33 CL. Pitch black, espresso head. The nose is full on coffee and chocolate truffles. The taste is just as full of coffee and cocoa powder, smooth chocolaty sweetness and just enough roast and hoppy bitterness to balance. Velvety easy drinking body. Excellent.

Bottle, batch 094 (at koht). Pours dark brown-black. Aroma is vanilla, cocoa, and a lot of booze. Flavor is sweet and bitter, cocoa, malt, vanilla, roast, dark chocolate, bit acidic. Finish is sweet, booze, cocoa, malt, cocoa, booze. Overall: way too boozy, but not bad. Reminds bit vanilla cake thingy, but this actually works.

Draught @ Craft Beer Helsinki 2016. Pours pitch black with a smooth head. Aroma of roasty malts, coffee, licorice, cocoa and vanilla. Taste is smooth, sweetish and slightly roasty with some licorice, syrup, coffee, cocoa and vanilla. Finish is sweet, sticky and syrupy with some roastiness, coffee, vanilla and cocoa. Quite sweet but tasty.

(Keg at CBH2016) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had coffee, vanilla, burnt malts and ash. Palate was full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were coffee, vanilla, burnt malts, ash, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, burnt and bitter. A well done brew with coffee notes.
