Deep saturated burnt sienna body and okay foam. The aroma is soft coffee bean, a bit under roasted, hints of molasses and cocoa though it's all too soft. Taste is smooth coffee and cocoa, hints of biscuit, ending smooth with a bit of dryness. Still somehow seems thin for what it is. Nice, but this can be better.

Dark brown. Medium head. Nice rich coffee aroma, roasty and sweet like a well-pulled shot. Full body, sweet, lots of beautiful chocolate and coffee on this. You even get a bit of rye chewiness. I don't know Firebean as a roaster but Guatemalan seems like it would complement coffee stouts well. No complaints here, this is good stuff.

473ml can. Pours a clear dark brown, almost black with red hue and a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that leaves curtains of lace. Semi-sweet aroma of roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate and caramel. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, spicy rye (almost peppery) and dark chocolate in a dry, mild bitter, coffee finish. Medium body with a thick, sticky, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Delicious and well balanced.
