Bottle, 0.33l. Black pour, thin creamy brown layer on top, short lasting. Average lacing on the glass. Solid nose, not as strong coconut presence as expected, more like lingering there subtly in the background. Strong sugary notes, mild woody, mild smoke. Full body, soft to medium carbonation. Creamy texture, soft on the tongue, nice and chewy. Really pleasant on the palate. Roasty bitter, sugary sweet taste with notable alcohol presence. Aroma of caramel malt, toffee, molasses. Sugary, syrup, somewhat sticky. Coffee liquor. Mild lingering coconut in the background, some vanilla hints. Nice balance and complexity. Warming alcohol, subtle burn on the tongue. But again it's really well balanced and not overpowering despite the high percentage. Medium to long lasting finish, dry and liquory, lingering coconut and latte notes. Tasty.

Bottle from Brewcraft at home after getting back from Europe. Dark dark brown nearly black pour with quickly disappearing light tan head. Aroma is strong fruity coffee (really nice), roasted chocolate, warm alcohol, coconut. Very big. Taste is very boozy and and coffee at first, sweet nutty coconut, then very bitter slightly fruity, in a weird way. Almost too sharp. Lasting warmth and sharp bitterness. Rich but not heavy despite low carbonation and slight syrupiness. Good but probably wouldn’t get again.

0,33l bottle from Uba ja Humal, Tallinn. Dark, almost black beer with very small and quickly vanishing head. Aroma has dark coffee, malts, smoke, chocolate, vanilla and cocoa. Flavor has roasted malts, dark coffee, cocoa, ashes, dry bitterness and spices. Some alcohol at the end. Sweet, a bit too one-sided and alcoholic overall.

Bottle. An oily pour leaves an almost headless dark brown body. There's lots of coffee in the aroma, with dark chocolate, alcohol, booze, hints of vanilla and a vague hint of licorice. It's full bodied, warming and smooth, with a nice sweetness. Licorice, coffee, vanilla, dark chocolate and a fine booze touch in the flavor. Lasting finish. 191230

Bottle: Literally black, surely no head to speak of, distinctive sweet-bitter aroma of roasted malt, coffee, cacao and coconuts; solid sweet-bitter flavour, full bodied, silky MF; lingering sweet and mildly bitter finish with the usual suspects and a light warming alcohol-burn in the aftertaste. Great winter-warmer, even though the coconuts are not really necessary...
