On tap at Beer Temple, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of rich coffee, medium roast, and some espresso notes. Flavour is cloyingly sweet as hell, with intense dark sugars, espresso and light roast. This is unpalatably sweet. There's definitely too much sugar here.

(Draught at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 9 Aug 2023) Black colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with creamy coffee, chocolate truffles, vanilla, caramel, toffee and cinnamon. Malty, roasted taste with notes of sweet espresso, chocolate truffles, vanilla, toffee, hazelnuts, cinnamon, pecan nuts and a mild roasty bitterness in the finish. Full body, quite sweet. On the sweet side, but really rich and tasty. Smooth and well rounded. Great beer!

Can 47,3 cl. Pours a thick, black with a small and creamy, dissipating light brown head. Sweet caramel rather than coffee in the nose. Rich and very sweet body with hardly any carbonation. The coffee is there but it's a coffee heavily mixed with sweet syrups. Warm alco finish. Gets really sticky. 071223

Can sample at a tasting at Lauter. Thanks Sahar. Very dark brown to black. Chocolate, roast, marshmallow, candy, a bit artificial, sweet with some bitterness, full-bodied.

A decent balance. Nicely sweetness mix with some spicy bitterness, but still on the pastry side, try again, only a taster at beer temple.
