L- Super-dark, barely a photon gets through even held to a halogen. Appears to have poured with a slight haze, and notable sediment has been left in the bottle. Pours with 2mm pale tan head.
S- Prominent toasty coffee, I'm not sure anything else manages to get past that.
T- Coffee, like a rich/rounded coffee vs a full-on espresso. That said the beer isn't rich itself as in sweet. It isn't just blunt coffee, there are other adjacent flavour facets that allow the coffee to dominate without being OTT.
F- It's pungent, it has a rounded richness without being anywhere near sweet (I do not like sweet facets in beer AT all!).
O- Good as a winter warmer, for after dinner, for in front of a winter log-fire, and instead of an after dinner spirit or liqueur. Very interesting to try, but if you arn't a coffee drinker then this might not suit at all - my morning starts with a couple of straight-up strong espressos. That said it's a flavoured beer, it's intense, it'll impact how I taste other F+B for maybe an hour so it's not a beer I'd want to drink regularly.
One thing different with this beer is the pungency of coffee, the meaty 8.0% ABV, BUT it's not resorting to being over-sweet with it despite the inclusion of lactose and 'sweet stout' in it's labled name. Labled ingredients include 'coffee, lactose and vanilla'.
330ml bottle. Euro 4.70. Bought from BelgiumInABox in Antwerp/BE for home delivery to me in London/UK.
