330mL bottle, pours black with a small brown head. Aroma brings out roasted malt, light smoke, and light powdery cocoa. Flavour brings out lots of roasted malt, a touch of licorice and powdery cocoa. Not terribly complex or cohesive. Not the most elegant beer, but it's decent. Okay.

330ml Bottle (Thanks Haukur) - Black with a tan head. Liquorice, coffee, roasted malt and some faint soapy notes in the aroma. Roasted and fairly smooth with a noticeable hop presence and notes of coffee, vanilla, liquorice and chocolate.

Bottle at K-Bar, Reykjavik
Black color, with small head. Delicate roasted malt and coffee aroma. Lean body, the flavor is a good mix of roasted malt, coffee and some dark chocolate, with light sourness from the dark malts; correct bitterness.
Straightforward, correctly brewed, expect a drier-than-average Imperial Stout.

World Cup Beer. Black with a lasting tan head. Hoppy aroma of pine and grapefruit, with lots of ashy roasted malt. Sweetish roasted malt flavour with almost black IPA-level hop character, playing up to less fortunate ashy, hard roasted malts
