Bottle thanks to Wingmane, shared at Matteo’s leaving drinks. It pours hazy dark brown - black with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet, roasted malts, big espresso coffee character, cacao, quite jammy, dried fruits and wood. The taste is bitter - sweet, roasted malt, plenty of sweet coffee, earthy, chocolate, touch of vanilla, toasty, slick and charred wood. Medium+ body, fine carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Maybe a touch sweet, but decent enough anyhow.

Creamy beige head stayed well on a near black still body - looks tremendous! Strong coffee, porter & dark fruit aroma. Medium bodied - smooth, creamy & a clean crisp aft. Bitter burnt coffee, roasted notes, plum, grape & stone fruit followed by a slightly hoppy, long finish. Throughout all of this there’s hints of demerara sugar!

Bottle: Dark brown color, nearly black, with an ample tan head. Bits of web lacing. Aromatic, light roast and rich espresso notes. The espresso is definitely the mainstay; light bittersweet cocoa and roast, but mostly a rich espresso goodness. Medium to light bodied. Up front I was hoping for more of the Baltic porter influence, but as an espresso beer fan this is quite delicious as is.
