This is crazy. Sirupy, thick as oil and black as a wintery night, nose is heavily dominated by sweet vanilla and maple syrup, hardly any coffee to trace at all. The beer does poor little head, no wonder since the carbonisation typically is low in such a powerful beer as this one. As far as goes the taste: It starts off with a little bubbles and some sweet chocolaty palate, before converting into cocoa & transforming into a heavily bitter, dark roasted coffee. I find that there’s acidic undernotes here as well… Could definitely do super with some more aging, although it’s perfectly drinkable now. Very full and robust body! A proper warmer, this one.
