44cl can from Sip, Tallinn. Pours pitch black with a tanned head. Roasty aroma with dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla, caramel and dried fruits. Sweet, smooth and flavourful with a somewhat balanced bitterness and warming alcohol. Desserty and enjoyable.

0,44 l can. Pours almost black with a finger of quickly dissipating light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, plenty of coffee, cocoa in the background. Some fusel alcohol too. Taste is well balanced, medium sweetness well compensated with pleasant bitterness. Body is full, texture borderline oily, carbonation gentle. Finish packs more coffee and chocolate with strong, but pleasant bitterness. Thumbs up!

0.44l can. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and vanilla. Pours almost black color with thin creamy light brown head and poor lacing. Taste starts with sweet chocolate and sour coffee with dried fruity acidity, follows by vanilla, caramel and ash, mouthfeel is smooth and warm, while finish is mild bitter. Full body, creamy texture and soft carbonation in palate. Coffee madness…

Can. Black color with beige head. Aroma is nice espresso roast, dash of vanilla. Taste is good coffee, not much tonka there which is in there according to the ingredients list, good balance, not too heavy. Velvety mouthfeel, fine-bubbled carbonation. I like!

440ml can from Farmers Bar, Avenue K, Kuala Lumpur. Poured almost black in colour with a very short-lived, fizzy tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, light herbal, light red berry fruits. The flavour is moderate sweet and liquorice bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, roasty, slightly oily, earthy, herbal, light coffee chocolate, liquorice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average carbonation. Not as sweet as I’d hoped for. Not much on the vanilla front and the coffee and chocolate were largely absent.
