Bottle, courtesy of Minutemat in EuroSwap 04/16, many thanks! Pours dark brown with a light beige head. Aroma is strong coffee with very little beside. Coffee aroma mostly reminds me of a cold brew. Body is medium with a creamy texture over a soft carbonation. Bitter indeed, with a milky creamy sweetness. Palate is rather short, but tasty while itโs at it. Nice, but a bit too sweet for my taste.

Bottle. Nose is pronounced filter coffee, sweet malt, a little woodiness and a little smoke, hint of cream, faint blackcurrant and licorice. Taste is filter coffee (but a lot less than you would imagine from the blurb and the nose), leading to over ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry, sweet dark fruits, then a lightly sour, ash finish with light herbal hops. Too thin. Was quite disappointed with this, the coffee effect was reminiscent of a cheap filter coffee and the main body was too sweet for me and the sour note is not working for me.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark brown with a frothy broken off white head. The aroma is big dry coffee. The flavour is light bitter with some sweet notes and a dry yeasty, earthy, medicinal hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle. Cotteridge. Clear, dark brown. Thin, sticky, lasting, tan head. Nose has fruity coffee bean. Some dark chocolate. Some earthy, woody notes. Some burnt rubber. Taste is acrid, metallic bitter. Not a whole lot else. Some acidity on the palate. A little thin. Pretty tart, metallic bitter finish. Smells ok, but after that it verges on undrinkable.
