Dark black, completely opaque. Thin sand colored head.
Smells like my great grandma's kitchen - cheap, strong coffee lingering over bread and a host of other unidentifiable scents. I guess that's a compliment.
Taste of roasted malt with notes of vanilla and berry. Black coffee aftertaste.
Quite smooth, though a little watery.
Coffee is present in the scent and taste but not particularly strong. More like a porter with coffee notes rather than a "coffee porter." I strongly prefer this to the regular silk porter. More intricate tastes and lives up to the silk in the name better.

From Zombier. In Teku glass. Playing Bloo Kid 2, then watching Vikings 5x08. Just what its name suggest. Silky, smooth, with plenty tasty roasted coffee (and vanilla) and low in alcohol (but full in flavors and feel)

Had on nitro at Hoppin' Frog. Certainly recommend. It was a starbucks Cold brew with a sweet smooth texture. Amazing. Rich and creamy with mocha hints.

22oz bottle poured into a small tumbler/wine style glass. Very dark color, almost black with a creamy off white head which was small and did not linger too long on top. Coffee scent is heavy in the nose along with a slight nutty scent. Coffee beans is the main flavor with a light roasted malt aftertaste. The Coffee flavor dissipates as the beer warms and a slightly creamy and bitter chocolate flavor take over. Very drinkable beer that I personally preferred as it was cold more than as it warmed towards room temperature.
