Bière 35 cl bue au Memphis coffee. Robe blonde pas très intéressante. Nez légèrement houblonné, avec un côté lactique fermenté pas super agréable, bouche assez amère, plus de notes tropical auraient été appréciables mais elle est plutôt réussie.

Junk at Beer temple Amsterdam tasted okay, but h ya r retro nasal was like old rotten paper. Try again. (3.2 aug 2022) Bottle from bierkonig. Glad i got a good bottle before it went away. Substantially better, nice crisp classical light porter. Similar to guinness west indies porter
