Baltic porter flavoured with coffee from this interesting French craft brewery, bottle shared with Bart. Pale greyish beige, membrane-lacing, moussy but slowly breaking head, black robe with hazy burgundy edges. Aroma of very prominent coffee (espresso), cigar ashes, unsugared black chocolate, dried blackcurrants, charcoal, burnt cake, moist toast, dried prunes, black olive, dust, old coffee filters. Rounded, sweetish onset, dried prunes and figs but low in esters, sourish edge of roasted grains, very light black olive-like umami touch; medium carb, smooth oily body. Quite thick roasted-walnutty and black-toasty middle with an ashy and ‘dusty’ edge, leafy hops, hints of tobacco and black pepper but obviously coffee as well (though notably less pronounced than the nose suggests); sourish-bitter roastiness prevails, with a soft glow of gin-like alcohol. Relatively ‘basic’ compared with what e.g. Põhjala and other Estonians did with this style, but technically well made, with the added coffee well integrated. Tasty.

30/XI/22 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Zythos class, BB: n/a (2022-1709)
Pretty clear dark brown to black beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots and lots of coffee, green coffee, green bell peppers, some charcoal, hint of caramel, dusty impression. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body, creamy texture. Taste: coffee, lots of coffee, also some cocoa powder, very dark chocolate, strong bitterness, deep roast. Aftertaste: sourish, a little sweet, caramel, peppery, coffee, coffee grit, very dry and bitter finish. Not my cup of tea. ;-)
