Comments: Extremely coffee laden stout that manages to be balanced, dry and fair bodied at the same time, but that I can’t quite enjoy on the sole base of its coffee goodness. Good focus on a flavour that is not all that appealing to me.
joss (3076), Garching b. München, Germany Sep 8, 2007 Spicy and earthy aroma - cinnamon, coffee and chocolate. Quite black in colour, foamy brown head. Coffee flavorbase, herbs - nice balance to the coffee bitterness. Mellow mouthfeel. Coffee-roast aftertaste. Enjoyit (1071), Vadum, Denmark Aug 26, 2007 Black of color with a brown head. An aroma of chocolate, coffee, hops and liqurice. A flavor of coffee, chocolate, liqurice and notes of hops.
