My rating: 5
My beeradvocate.com rating: 4.59
My ratebeer.com rating: 4.5

Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 1st February 2021. Poured into a snifter glass.
Appearance: Dark brown to black in colour with a thin half finger tanned head that dissipated fairly quickly and left only some sparse spotty lacing.
Aroma: Chocolate, granola, vanilla, nuttiness.
Taste: Bittersweet, roasty malts, chocolate, granola, coffee, vanilla, caramel with a hint of raisin and some spices.
Mouthfeel: Creamy, full bodied, with soft carbonation.
Overall: I love granola, so this is right up my alley, especially the aroma which I thought was near perfect. Meanwhile, the taste has a good balance between bitter and sweet, plus the nice granola, coffee and vanilla flavours.

Brewer Description: (from website) Gesha village in Ethiopia is said to be the birthplace of coffee. Not only does this region offer up the longest coffee history, it also boasts some of the best stuff in the world. This stout is a celebration of that heritage. And a way to show appreciation for some personal close friends in Ethiopia that are part of a handful of incredibly rigorous coffee growers.

My ratebeer.com rating: 4.2

Intro: A 330ml bottle, bottled on 8th June 2018, and with a best before date of 8th June 2019. Poured into a snifter glass.
Appearance: Black in colour with a thin mocha brown head that dissipated quickly and left some nice spotty lacing.
Aroma: Roasty malts, chocolate, brownies, coffee, vanilla, a light nuttiness and just a hint of bourbon.
Taste: Lightly sweet, roasty malts, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, and a hint of syrupy caramel. Light bitter finish. But, I’m not getting much bourbon here.
Mouthfeel: Creamy, sticky, full bodied with soft carbonation.
Overall: Very nice roasty flavours but only light coffee, and I’m not getting much or any of the supposed bourbon notes. Still tastes great overall though.

Omnipollo Tobias

Leave a comment

Brewery: Omnipollo
Country: Sweden
ABV: 4.3%
Style: American Session IPA
Other Notes: Brewed by Omnipollo at De Proef Brouwerij (Belgium)

Brewer Description: (from website) We found Tobias through a beer that he brewed for a Mikkeller hop bomb challenge. He came in second place and we got a bottle which we really liked. And then we did a home brew together! Since then we work together and Tobias is Karls right hand man. This beer is a celebration of all things Tobias. Tobias is a pale ale that is lower in ABV but fully packed with character.

Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date that’s not legible anymore. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A lightly hazy golden orange colour with a two finger white head that had pretty good retention and left lots of nice lacing.

Taste: A little weak, but light malt, grass, grapefruit, citrus zest and rind, lemon peel, lightly bitter finish.
Mouthfeel: Somewhat crisp, light bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Flavours were slightly on the weak side, but what comes through is not bad at all.
