Bottle at home. Dark, muddy brown with beige head. Heavy roast, liquorice, leather. Very light vanilla sweetness. Lingering coffee finish.

(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.
