Visual: (cellared for 2 years). Old label prior to 2017. Pours jet black with just a bit of bubbles, thin ringed retention. Some barely visible bubbles surfacing.
Nose: roasted liquid barley and roasted coffee mix, hints of alcohol. Fairly clean. (lvl-8)-pungency
Attack: slightly thicker-light crisp, oily roasted coffee impression
Mid-palate: clean deep roast coffee, background subdued coffee sour-fruity note, (lvl-4-sweetness), sweet roasted barley
Finish: pleasant roasted bittersweet coffee exhale, off-dry dark chocolate
Summary: All around super clean and virtually no alcohol detection – ABV just right. Wickedly sippable with balanced bittersweet roasted coffee and barley notes. This makes me want to try the other BGB variants.
