Highly drinkable and as refreshing as a "café frappé"!

Ermitage collaborating with a Brussels coffee roaster in this coffee stout; can from the Hopduvel in Ghent. Regular, quite thick and moussey, even-bubbled, dense, creamy, slowly thinning, pale greyish beige head on a black robe with waferthin hickory brown edges; a couple of patches of something unattractively solid, likely related to the coffee addition, stick to my glass in the end. Aroma of cold black coffee but somehow still less coffee-aromatic than expected, toasted brown bread, salmiak, Maggi, burnt walnuts, caramel, molasses, wet leather, dried blueberries, 'drop', Ersatz chocolate, unsugared chewing gum, reduced gravy, porcini. Sweetish onset with vague fruity notes of pear, apple and plum, surrounded by a layer of beef stock-ish umami and a 'deep', dim sourishness; softish carb, smooth mouthfeel made even smoother by the oatmeal. Oatmeal also shines through a bit in the middle, overwhelmed by a dry-caramelly, somewhat peanutty, Ersatz-chocolatey and toasty maltiness, 'deep and dark' as a stout ought to be with this sourish edge of 'old' coffee, but only then a 'green coffee bean'-like aspect appears, again much more so than actual roasted coffee bitterness - and the spicy coffee aromas I was hoping for. Do not get me wrong, this beer is full of coffee for sure, but it seems to have a more 'green' and plant-like character than I was expecting; it does, in the end, adequately performs its job in establishing a spicy end bitterness, aided by herbal hops and toasty malts. An umami accent, as in reduced gravy, yet flavoured with dried blueberries for sweetness, lingers beyond all this... Altogether enjoyable, 'moderately' but consistently coffee-flavoured oatmeal stout, even if I was, perhaps, expecting a bit more in view of the usual Ermitage standards.

Dark black pour with a small tan head. Aroma is cococa, coffee, cream, white bread/brioche, some nuts. Taste is coffee, cocoa/dark chocolate, plums, vanilla, maybe even ice cream. Not bad at all.

Sample draft
Noire foncée léger trouble, col café au lait.
Arome est sur un bouquet plaisant des malts – torréfiés, chocolat au lait, cold brew en infusion, fruits noirs avec une petite note d’épices en rétro-nasal.
Palais sur un stout classique assez solide avec une belle dose d’infusion de café. Amertume délicate, finement terreuse avec un café qui procure une touche de moka et de chocolaté – je note aussi une fine sécheresse avec un retour rappelant les fruits noirs. Amertume revient sur la fin avec un renfort de caractère onctueux, cookie dough, speculoos.

Tap at L'Ermitage Saint Gilles. Black with creamy tan head. A lot of nutty coffee, pecans, roasted malts, light roasted chocolate with dry berries, chalk, vanilla. Under medium sweet, light bitter. Just medium bodied. Lovely.
