440ml can. Jet black colour with minimally late awakening, average, thick, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, tan head. Roasty, dark malty aroma, notes of coffee, mocha, roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, some resinous hop. Taste is bitter, roasty, dark malty, notes of coffee, mocha, roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, some bitter, resinous hoppy notes as well, subtle, sweet-ish hints of caramel, a touch of treacle; lingering, caramel infused coffee finish. Creamy, viscous texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine and soft carbonation. Excellent coffee and mocha flavours, focussed, harmonious, integrated, well hidden alcohol, dangerously drinkable; simple and monothematic in a way, better described as reduced to the max - very, very good.

440ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. A bubbly tan-coloured tophead slowly diminishing over a pitch black body. Spotty lacing. Deep roasted, almost burnt, malts on the nose, hints of dark bread. Mid-sweet black chocolate taste supported by dark bread and ash. Prominent coffee beans towards a long-lived roasted ending warming down the swallow. Excellent slow sipper qualities, enjoyed for an hour on a Saturday eve. (Tromsø 08.08.2020).

Can, at Patricks. A black one, topped by a dense finger thick tan head. Lacing. The aroma has a pleasant coffee twist, with burnt malts, roasted malts and a hint of dark dried fruits. Hints of alcohol. It's full-bodied, lightly warming and softly carbonated, with a malty sweetness. Coffee, roasted malts, alcohol and a touch of prunes and bonfire in the flavor. Lasting finish. Sure a breakfast beer. 200727

Drukket på Bergstua. Svart. Kjempehøyt tett lysebrunt skum som daler veldig sakte og etterlater pene filigranser. Lovende start! Sammensatt aroma: Karamell, malt og litt kaffe. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken mest kaffe. Tørr avslutning. Ble nok overdose kaffe etter hvert.

Can from Patricks. Black body under a medium sized, lacing beige head. Aroma is promising with dark malt and quite strong quality coffee. Taste is rather sweet, dark malt, lots of nice coffee flavor, hint of dark chocolate and pronounced bitterness in-between hoppy bitter and bitter coffee. Fina body and long-lasting aftertaste with sweet malt and coffee. A fine coffee stout, perhaps a bit one dimensional but it really doesn’t matter when tasting nice like this.
