Bottle shared at CBC CG - cheers fellas. Pours oily black with a small, tan cream head. Meaty dark malts haunt the snout, with notes of raisins, liquorice. Medium to big sweet flavour with ample dried dark berries, light chocolate, some ashy roast. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Dry and ashy in the finish, more leathery dark berries. Good stuff.

Draft. A black beer with a lazing dark brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, and a bit of chili. The flavor is sweet with notes of coffee, lactose, roasted malt, and a bit of alcohol, leading to a dry roasted finish.

Great!

Koffie

Raw cocoa and coffee, solid but rough

Bottle at Craft CG share. It pours opaque jet black with a tiny tan head. The aroma is earthy roasted malts, rich charred character, tar, wood, coffee grounds, leather, medicinal note and dark chocolate cake. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy, charred wood, warming alcohol, coffee grounds, coffee cake, bit of tannin and leather. Medium - Full body, fine carbonation and chewy mouth - feel. Pretty decent stuff, especially the aroma. Perhaps good have a bit more depth of flavour, but not bad overall.
