This bold, brown ale gets its body from a team of malts including caramel malt for sweetness, flaked barley for dense foam, a bit of chocolate malt for its deep color, and aromatic and Munich malts to add even more depth. German and Perle hops add a touch of bitterness to balance the malty sweetness. The addition of rich Sumatra coffee takes this perfectly balanced brown ale to a decadent level.

(Bottle) Dark brown colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, treacle-toffee and dark bread. Malty, roasted taste with coffee, chocolate, dried fruit, raisins, brown sugar, vanilla, toffee, dark bread and a balanced coffee bitterness in the finish. Full body, sweet. Great balance, hides the 9% quite well. Black coffee with chocolate chip cookies. Great beer!

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 30A/13B). Bottle 35.5 cl - Batch unknown (BBF unknown - Bottled on 12.01.17). AROMA: medium-high coffee aroma followed by a medium-low to low caramel and toffee-like malt presence. APPEARANCE: dark reddish amber color and slightly hazy. medium light brown head, creamy, with medium-low retention. TASTE: initial medium-high coffee flavor, followed by subtle toffee-like malt notes. medium bitterness with an almost dry and coffee finish. PALATE: medium body with medium-low carbonation. OVERALL: the aroma and taste of coffee is a bit unbalanced with the malt character, maybe from the extended bottle conditioning (sample from 2017).

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark brown with light brown foam, fine. Aroma is rich in coffee, chocolate, molasses & caramel. Body is thick, spicy, with average carbonation. Taste is medium-high sweet, with quite a spicy feeling. Final is fairly long and sweet.

Bottle, thanks Borresteijn! Deep dark brown color. Fresh coffee and dark chocolate in the aroma and flavor. Malty sweet, raisin, low on carbon. Nice beer.
