Hands down, this was the best beer i ever had so far!
If you love coffee, you MUST try this beer. For a while you will forget you are drinking beer and just feel coffee everywhere.
Taste: Amazing, filled with coffee and just a very very light normal flavour of stouts.
Smell: Pure coffee.
Look: Just like the usual stouts but darker.
Feel: Really smooth and higly pleasant.
I highly recommend you to try it out.

Pours a pitch-black coloration with a large, creamy, mocha-colored head that leaves plenty of spidery, wispy lacings as it slowly recedes. Smells of roasted, slightly caramelly malt and and a strong coffee aroma, as well as hints of chocolate and licorice. Taste is an excellent balance of quite roasted, slightly caramelly malt and a strong coffee character, with some dark, bitter chocolate, licorice and just a hint of brown sugar, hazelnut and charcoal. Finishes bittersweet, with a medium bitterness and some roasted malt, coffee and chocolate lingering in the aftertaste. Full mouthfeel with a rich body and medium carbonation.

There really is quite an intense, vibrant coffee character to this, which doesn't necessarily make it a great Export Stout, but certainly a fantastic Coffee Stout. The combination of roasted malt and coffee, bitter chocolate and sweet caramel malt and brown sugar really makes this work, while some licorice, hazelnut and charcoal accents add a bit more depth of flavor here. The overall balance of roasted, bitter and sweet notes just works out so great here, while that intense coffee character really hits the spot and this also feels rather rich for the 8% ABV.

 

De Labirratorium. En copa de pinta inglesa de Ikea. Jugando a Day of the Tentacle Remastered. No se me ocurre mejor forma de implementar una export stout. Tiene unas notas tostadas/cafetosas absolutamente deliciosas, un cuerpazo y un abv totalmente oculto. Y con el paso del tiempo no pierde nada de fuelle
