at KØ2009 black beer. small head. aroma is peat, smoked, roasted charchoal, roasted grains. nice!, flavor is toffee, old licorice, slightly sourish/fruity. (8,4,6,3,14). bottle pitch dark, dark brown head. beer was a slow gusher, after pouring and sitting seemingly okay for a mine, beer foam kept spilling out of the bottle very slowly. Aroma is licorice, roasted malts, very well composed, thick, faint notes of soy sauce and salt, very faint smoked notes blend well in, and gives it even more character. Flavor is roasted malts, smoked notes in the end, thick mouthfeel, good bitterness, the smoke is charchoal, faint sweet herbal notes, but not in the way, some times the smoke is almost too much, but it do work out well. high bitterness overall.

Black with a lasting light brown head. Aroma of black licorice, with some hops and a hint of peat smoke. The aroma is somewhat sweet, and fruity, with peaty notes, and a great roasted bitter finish.
