Draught Gushing to very fine & dense beige/yellow head over copper-chestnut beer. Coffee, roasted, mocha, sweetish smelling. Pure coffeebeans, if sweet - like the chocolate coffeebeans in the sweetshop. Finish is however empty. Medium bodied, quite slick and obviously very well-carbonated. Better as feared, but nowhere remarkable.

Deep red - amber beer, small pale tan head. Light palate, a little crisp and quite frothy. A little creamy caramel malt. Nice tangy fruits - distinctly cherry. Lesser notes of peach. Trace of blackcurrant. Finishes dry - tasty little number.

Clear amber beer, good sized cream coloured head. Softish palate, a little dry. Nice tang to this tripel. Creamy sweet malt with a little sweet peach sherbet and other tropical fruits. Semi dry finish. A tasty and decent tripel!

On tap at De Wiering, Leuven. Wouldn’t call this a dubbel. Deep dark brown colour, creamy off-white head. Aroma is very sweet, malty, red and dark fruits, bubblegum, raisins, molasses, spices like star anise, amber malts. Flavour is very sweet, caramel, molasses, dark and red fruits, light spice, sweet star anise and alcoholic finish. Medium-bodied. Too sweet for me, but a nice dessert beer I guess.

Sampled at De Molen tasting. Clear red brown color, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, a lot of coffee / espresso. Soft carbonation, medium body.

Bottle at the De Molen second Tuesday tasting. Poured a dark brown colour with a thin tan head. The aroma is smoky and malty. The flavour is rich malty with liquorice and spice. Nice to taste, but became a little bland eventually.

sample at the monthly molen Tuesday tasting. thin off white head. clear amber pour. nice coffee in the aftertaste

0.75 Litre bottle shared at the Diester Bierfestival on 20 Oct 2012. Dark brown with a good solid head of tan coloured foam. Intense coffee flavours: the nose and taste are just infused completely with fresh ground coffee, or that is how it seemed. Stay away from this if you don’t like coffee (there is a hint in the beers name). Rich and heavy, really enjoyed it: had to have a glass of water afterwards though or I’d not have tasted anything else bar coffee all afternoon.
