Bottle @ tasting with Joen and Niilstrong. Opaque black color, decent sized light brown colored head. Smell and taste malts, coffee, vanilla, some roast. Quite a nice mix! I like this one. Decent body, medium carbonation. Nice.

Stark kaffeeartiger Beginn. Milde Süße, geringfügig Vanille, harmonisch und intensiv. Vollmundig, vllt. einen Ticken zu süß. Langer Nachgeschmack. 10/10/9/10//10
