Bottle picked up from Rewe at Wetzlar, Hesse and consumed at Haldern Music Festival Friday 12th August 2022 sat outside. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Soft moutheel, with a slight prickly bitterness, a little honey sweeteness, a fruity linger, a little bit sweet shoppy. Fine but no great shakes.

Chocolate Coffee Stout aus der Fleisbacher Brauerei, 75-cl-Flasche von REWE, Herborn-Seelbach (Flasche Nr. 698 von 700). - Fast schwarz, nahezu schaumlos. - In der Nase Stout-typisch kerniges Röstmalz, Mokka, Bitterschokolade, feine Asche und ein wenig karamellige Süße, dahinter milde Hopfung mit zarten fruchtigen Zügen; sehr gediegen. - Antrunk tief röstmalzig mit kräftiger Asche, wie angebrannt; kernige Mokkabittere mit einer Andeutung von Vanille, Kirsche und leiser Zitrusfrucht. Milder rezent, glatt; sauber kaschierter Alkohol. Im Abgang dominiert schwarze Malzbittere und nur leise Hopfenherbe. - Extrem Röstmalz-dominiertes, wie angekokeltes Stout, viel weniger komplex als die Nase erwarten läßt. Nur schwer genießbar.

750ml bottle [courtesy of Meike - thanks a lot!]. Slightly cloudy, orange, brass/golden colour with average, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Fruity and spicy, slightly wheaty malty aroma, notes of coriander, a touch of mandarine, orange peel, some dried banana. Taste is citrusy fruity, yeasty fruity and citrusy fruity hoppy, sweet-ish, minimally bready, wheaty malty, mildly spicy, hints of lemon, orange, mandarine, orange peel, banana, coriander, a touch of clove; lingering, mildly spicy, oily finish. Oily texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Well balanced, maybe a tad too close to a Hefeweizen (concerning the prominence of banana and clove flavours), quite oily and therefore a bit flat and not as refreshing as could be - enjoyable.
