Black, rich, a touch boozy but also crazy rich. Bitter dark chocolate, chicory, umami, this is crazy stuff, no adjuncts just pushing the bounds of intensity. Having just tasted 8-10 Modern Times BA products in the past 36 hours, I can still say that this stood above them as one of the most exceptional beers I've had in a very long time.

Dark brown, no head, aroma is a fuckload of hazelnut, damn. Sweet, hazelnut, unbalanced in a good way.

On tap at LHK Noodle Bar, pours jet black, no head. Aroma is full of rich hazelnut coffee, followed by vanilla beans, light coconut, and gentle roast. Flavour is exquisite, with rich hazelnut-infused coffee, big dessert-like coconut cream, vanilla, and dark chocolate. Rich, not sickly; elegant, complex. Sublime.

Mange tak Jeppe P. Dark sweet and roasted malty with velvety smooth chocolate, well balanced hazelnut and coconut converge, some coffee roast, full bodied with a nice mouthfeel, dark roasted and sweet malty lingering finish. Really nice.

On tap at Goal Brewing, North Park, San Diego, 23rd February 25. Pours clear, it’s a big beer, it the bitterness does balance out the beast. Good
