(330ml bottle from boxbeers.dk) Pours cola coloured with an average cream head. Aroma is sweet and lead by rich, earthy and somewhat fruity Vietnamese coffee, moderately roasted, over a blanket of dark toffee, milk chocolate and soft vanilla, with a touch of dark bread about the malt. Flavour is again very coffee-forward with a base of caramel and a touch of toffee, the roast is rather earthy and bitter, a bit pungent but with fruity hints too. There are touches of cacao and vanilla around the edges. Finish is rather dry with a big lingering hit of the cold brew coffee trailing off long into the aftertaste. Biggest weakness is a rather weak and watery mouthfeel that doesn't support the strong flavours. Too bad since the the coffee addition is bang on the money.
Caramel, graham crackers, milk chocolate, walnuts & plenty of roasty coffee. Sweet & fairly bitter. Bit thin for the bitterness.
