Live long and drink Cosmic Ristretto. This highly revered brew will go down in history as one of the first graduates of our Genius Lab program into our front line. Marvel at its rich black appearance with bruleed edges and mocha-colored beer foam. Breathe in its coffee aroma and sweet malts, and savor its smooth, espresso, chocolate flavor. Don’t fight its gravitational pull. This bold, complex, java-centric Baltic Porter with Espresso is irresistible. Houston, we have a problem, my glass is empty.

Bomber, thanks Brenn79. Expired about two and a half months ago. Aroma is chocolate milk, coffee, dark bread crust, licorice. Pours nearly black with a beige head that lasts a minute before collapsing into a big-bubbly collar. Taste starts out sweet, finishing bitter with the most prominent flavor being licorice, followed by chocolate, bread crust and coffee. The aftertaste is of lingering espresso. Pretty good.

Draught. Inky dark brown with foamy beige head, sharp coffee aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter coffee taste with some sweetness, thickish smooth body, long finish with medium bitterness. Very smooth and satisfying.

Shared bomber at the 7th Sep 2016 Shrewsbury Exchange Gathering. Dark brown body, Camp Coffee flavours and aromas with a bitter finish. Not too sure I could have managed the whole 22oz (US) bottle, even though I thought it both interesting and enjoyable.

Sampled from 0.65 l bottle at RBBSG 2016 in Evergem. Clear, dark red to very dark brown with a beige head. Sweetish, roasty-malty aroma of coffee, dark chocolate and some nuts. Sweetish-malty, moderately roasty and a little smoky taste of caramel, dark chocolate, coffee and some smoke, followed by a medium long, quite roasty-bitter, a little warming finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!
