Bottle at home, a couple of days after its BB date. Pours jet black with thin, long lasting beige head. Nose is a huge coffee kick, with some dark chocolate. In taste the same coffe notes appear and there's some roasted earthy character too in the finish. Has light, almost watery body and average carbo. Drinks below its ABV and a bit too thin, otherwise alright.

Draught. More or less pitch black colour with a beigeish brown head. Aroma is coffee, some roasted and mild chocolaty and fudgelike tones. Flavour is coffee, some lactose, mild toffee, roast and some fudge elements to it. Very coffeeish.

Third by keykeg, shared with Finn on the third day of GBBF 2020 Winter. Brewery Bars. Remaining fawn-coloured head to a jet black body, lacing rings down the glass. Well roasted malty aromas, solid coffee bite. Chocolate malty flavours followed by a strong touch of coffee. Prolonged coffee finish, roasted. Well bodied. Like it. (Birmingham 06.02.2020).

På GBBF Winter 2020 i Birmingham. Delt med Rune. Svart. Middels høyt mokkafarget skum som daler sakte. Litt lacing. Utpreget kaffearoma. Smaken bare kaffe. Kanskje litt sjokolade i avslutninga. Uvariert.

Super dry, true to cold brewed coffee, crisp, clean, super drinkable for a strong stout. GBBF Winter

Clear deep amber - brown beer, small pale tan head. Light and semi dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Thin and semi sweet dark malts, sweet espresso. Touch of dark chocolate. Some earthy tang and mild minerals. Dry finish. Not enough backbone here for me. Thin.

Nearly black, small creamy tan head. Strong coffee aroma, coffee candy. Coffee and chocolate flavour. Light, quite drinkable and well balanced.
