Do you remember the coffee made from coffee beans that have been, uh, organically processed
by elephants? For April Fools' Day, Sankt Gallen, a brewery in
Kanagawa, Japan, briefly sold a stout made from that coffee. The staff
at Rocket News 24 snagged a few bottles before they sold out. Here's how
it tastes:
I cracked open a bottle of Un, Kono Kuro to
give it a try. I sniffed at the bottle’s neck and my nostrils were
greeted with a faint bitter aroma, a little like roasted coffee just
giving me a sense of what’s to come.
When I poured it into a glass
the coffee-like aroma continued to build it was relaxing like an easy
Sunday morning. After taking my first sip there was an initial
bitterness that got washed over by a wave of sweetness. Following that, a
mellow body rolled in and spread out through my mouth. [...]
Usually people talk about aftertaste when drinking beer but with Un, Kono Kuro the word afterglow is much more appropriate.
After
downing the last drop, slowly rising from my throat and mouth was that
afterglow. The combination of bitter and sweet stayed fresh and lingered
in my head. It was a familiar aroma that accompanied me through the
entire beer.
