Clear brown colour with massive foaming head. A difficult pour. Malty and with a sweet base. Nice bitter coffee elements though. Flavoursome.

Flesje gedeeld door Benzai. Diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier met flinke schuimkraag. Weinig aroma . Smaak is licht koffie achtig, fruitig en zoet. Nasmaak is licht bitter.

Bottle at home. Huge foamy off-white head on top of a dark amber color. Aroma is sweetish to my surprise 😮 with a hint of berries. Odd for a coffee beer... Flavor is weird. Oddly sweetish again. Some coffee hints but for a coffee beer, no, not good.
