32oz crowler pours with a hazy deep gold body that has a copper core and supports a thin light tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up pineapple, clementine, honeydew and strawberry. The taste delivers a juicy start that's somewhat restrained in sweetness. I get clementine, thin tangy tangerine, a dash of lime and then softee cantaloupe and pineapple notes. There's a thin bitter hop theme that runs from front to back that helps keep this somewhat balanced. Pretty nice.

TASTE: initial medium notes of sweet coffee, chocolate, low nutiness, followed by roasted malt. initial sweet profile, followed by medium bitterness with a semi-dry to dry finish. PALATE: medium body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: a nice mocha stout well balanced although the cacao nibs are very faint.

Thuis in de net opgeknapte tuin uit een halve liter blik. Troebel geel, fris citrus aroma. Uitstekende smaak, fris en hoppig. Een heerlijk stevig bier.

Flaska från Beergium. Svart med brun mocca-färgad krämig krona. Rejäla mängder med kaffe och kanel med vaniljen och pekanen längre bak. Stor kropp och rejält intensiv i smaken. Kanelen tillsammans med sötman från vaniljen och fylligheten i kroppen väcker associationen till kanelbulle-deg och inte fullt bakade Gifflar, med den omätliga kombinationen smör/socker/kanel. De saltade pekannötterna kanske bidrar till det hela. Stor, maffig, mycket gott.

Flaska från Beergium. Svart med brunbeige krona. Stor och maffig arom där samtliga tillsatser från ett tydligt spelutrymme: lönnsirap, kaffe och vanilj (i den ordningen). Samma kommer i smaken. Kaffe, lönnsirap med den karaktäristisk träigheten, vanilj och en kexig ton som drar åt s’mores. En fin chokladton skapar en god bakgrund. Klara och tydliga smaker. Något större, fin sötma, viss alkoholhetta. Elegant. Mycket gott!

Flaska från Beergium. Svart med beigebrun liten krona. Ganska rejäl ton av kaffe, espresso, saltlakrits, en ganska markant sälta, mörk choklad och kakaonibs. Kokosen växer fram efter en stund, känner den knappt alls inledningsvis. Märks mer i doft än smak. Något större kropp, mjuk och fin. Ganska intensiv i kaffesmaken utan att det blir vare sig syrligt eller grön paprika. Väldigt snygg och elegant, sticker inte iväg åt något håll samtidigt som den är potent. Stor och kaxig, ändå elegant. Snygg!
