Commercial Description:
Brewed with a combination of roasted barley malts and freshly ground espresso beans to produce a rich robust flavour. The intense coffee flavour is delicious on its own or as a perfect compliment to chocolate. Holiday favourites such as Christmas cake and plum pudding go very well with this unique dessert beer.

341ml bottle.
Pours a cola colour with a brown stained head. Smell of sweet caramel malts and a little chocolate. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Taste has a thick sweetness mixed with similar flavours of what is found in the aroma. Not enough of the coffee flavour for me. Others take over a bit more. Finish is short and sweet and a small bit sticky. Overall a smooth, flavourfull, and drinkable beer.

Deep brown, almost black colour with a small tan head. Roasted malty aroma with a heavy coffee and chocolate sweet note. Coffee bitter flavor with a vague chocolate sweetness and a hoppy note. Dry finish.

(Bottle 34,1 cl) Clear, dark, reddish brown with a small, beige head. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Fairly light body with roasted malt, coffee and perhaps some chocolate. A dry finish without much bitterness. A bit bland perhaps, but high drinkability. Courtesy of presario. 120207

Bottle: Pours a dark mahogany with a medium, tight tan head. Aroma is predominantly dusty coffee with some mild hint of hop. Flavour was smooth coffee and dark malt. Finishes with a mild bitter flourish. A bit thin, but tasty.

Bottle. Reddish brown colour with a weak head. Nice sweet aroma of chocolate and milk-like. Nice smooth flavour of chocolate, coffee and some roastedness.

12oz bottles courtesy of Poperinge and ChineseHercules. One bottle was sent to Papsoe. Extremely dark with a rather thin but lasting head. Aroma of bitter chocolate, coffee and a hint of prune. The flavour is more plum than espresso. Thick body. As it warms the flavour is like a a chocolate plum pudding itself with a dusty coffee finish.
