Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - opaque black with slightly off white head. Nose - big coffee bean thing with just an edge of chocolate getting in there. Taste - lots of coffee but chocolate getting more of a leading role. Lactose missing in action. Palate - creamy and close to medium bodied. Dry lightly burnt finish. Overall - ok but too coffee dominated.

Bottle from Beers of Europe shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours clear dark brown with a thin off-white head. Strong coffee aromas, espresso. Taste is coffee and chocolate. Where's the lactose? Coffee dominates, and it's a bit thin.

Bottle from Beers of Europe shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours murky red-brown with a big off-white head. Aromas of sherbet and pine. I'm going to guess light infection meaning more fermentation in the bottle than planned for. Yep. Taste is dry, funky and a little acetic.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - murky brown and massive lively head. Nose - sherbet and pine. Bready. Taste - more bread with sherbet edge to me. Vinegar at the death. Palate - light to medium bodied. Tangy. Yeast issue. Overall - possible wild yeast infection or continued fermentation in the bottle.

Tight frothy beige head stayed well on a near black still body. Roast & malt aroma. Medium to thin bodied, airy on the palate, clean & dry on the back. Big roasted flavours with nut, malt, berry & bitter tangy citrus finish.
