Our Abstrakt journey continues with AB:17; a three-coffee rye imperial porter. Big chocolately roasty malts, spicy rye, and more coffee than Twin Peaks - we’ve added espresso in the mash, cafetiere in the boil, and whole bean in the whirlpool and the FV. Courtesy of Has Bean, we’ve got a rich mix of spicy, bitter and heady coffee flavours mixing with the vanilla pods we threw in for good measure. AB:17 is in the final days of maturation and is almost ready for bottling. It is tasting incredibly smooth and decadent. A perfect winter beer?

Bottle shared at BDSB - London. Cheers! Pours black with a slim, creamy head. The nose hints at oxidation, with some dry cocoa, mellow roast. Medium sweet flavour with notes of milk chocolate, dark berries, old coffee, earth. Full bodied, oily, chewy, with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, with mild ashy character, more baking cocoa, dried berries, vanilla beans, booze, torched wood. Very good overall.

Minute beige collar on a jet black, still, oil slick. Castrol GTX. Nutty aroma with demerara & rum. Medium bodied, smooth as a feather on the palate - just like a bottle of cooking oil going down! Dark strong coffee, demerara, nutty, oak, burnt tastes.

(1094 napja palackozták) Semmi hab, fekete szín, a szélein vörösbe hajlik. Csokis, kávés, aszalt gyümölcsös illatok, némi hordós vörösboros beütéssel. Markáns aszaltgyümölcsös ízekkel indít, amire rögtön reflektálnak a csokis, kávés aromák. A csúcs után fokozatosan felerősödnek a kissé kesernyés kávés komponensek és az egész fölött végig ott húzódik egy vörösboros, hordós lepel. Testes, alig szénsavas és csak enyhén kesernyés, egy hajszálnyit fanyar. Nagyon komoly, isteni sör, csodás egyensúllyal és arányokkal.
