Objectively speaking:
Subtle coffee stout full of subtlety. Very tasty for its size. I miss England.
I like:
Tall frothy beige head. Very well-balanced! The espresso never display any of that beany vegetal character that is so common in coffee stout. The yeast undertones are stunning, complex, subtle. Lots of house character and in a filtered coffee beer at that! Very well extracted maltiness procures a solid, firm palate, excellent compromise between drinkability and engaging size. Clean finishing bitterness.
I dislike:
This is a type of beer I generally dislike, but this was a stunning example.

Jul 14, 2008 Bottle. Almost black with an offwhite head. Aroma and flavour of coffee filter and roasted malt. Harsh and also thin.

Jul 4, 2008 Bottle from Bier Koning. Wow. Really creamy with strong taste of espresso and chocolate. It remained me more of a smoke though than a stout. This is one strong stout. Bitter finish and aftertaste. Good for what it is.
