When There Is No Sun started its journey 22 months ago when we did an overnight double mash boil. After being tucked away in a Jamaican Rum for almost 2 years, we conditioned it on anaerobic fermented coffee from Fazenda Castelhana farm, Brazil roasted by Sloane Coffee Roasters and to complement it, a big dose of single-origin Colombian cacao nibs.

375ml bottle. Jet black colour, no head. BA supported, chocolately and slightly roasty, dark malty aroma, notes of coffee, espresso, dark cocoa, dark chocolate, hints of molasses, a touch of rum. Taste is roasty and chocolately, dark malty, notes of coffee, espresso, dark chocolate, BA notes of rum, molasses and a woody touch not until the finish, some warming alcohol as well; lingering, sweet-ish chocolately and minimally boozy finish.
Viscous texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate, fine, soft to flat carbonation.
Incredibly viscous, intense, very nice coffee flavours, some non-integrated and slightly disharmonious BA aspects; gains some homogeneity and harmony while warming up - decent, but not exciting.
Guess I wouldn't miss the BA even if that came down to a smaller body and a more monotonous result.
