bottle shared at the Dutch summer tasting. Thin ring tan head. Clear black pour. Very smooth.

Black with nice light brown head. Strong roasted malts, licorice, black coffee, soft mineral notes, burn toast, toffee, ash. Medium sweet and bitter with the bitterness lasting quite long in a very roasted way. Over medium bodied with oily feel and low carbonation. Strong on the roasted notes.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Near black with a ring tan head. Aroma of big malt, licorice, caramel and toffee. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter. Above medium bodied with soft carbonation.

2014 Bottle: Deep, pitch black coloured body with a thinnish, oily deep brown head, only about a half centimetre thick. Aroma of super roasted malts, licorice, tobacco, leather, earth, mushrooms and heaps of both - bourbon and vanilla. Medium to Full-bodied; Lighter in body than I expected, but much sweeter than I expected as well with bunches of lactose and vanilla coming through, all with a good deal of mushrooms, oak, dry yeast and a touch of oats as well. Aftertaste shows some nice rounded flavours with a little sweetness, a touch of the grain, some bitterness from the roast and a subdued licorice and spice character. Overall, a nice beer throughout with a good character that shows some light aging very well and after a further five years, it should round out very nicely, but the body might be gone altogether, I’m afraid. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia on 31-January-2015 for US$8,99 sampled at home in Washington on perhaps one of the last chilly evenings of the season on 22-May-2016. 2014 Bottle (Bottling Date Unknown) on Screenprint // Purchased: 31-January-2015 // Sampled: 22-May-2016. So, with that bottle aged a further five years, as oddly suggested by myself nearly three years ago, the beer has gotten better: 2014 Bottle (from Screenprint), purchased in 2015, sampled in 2019: Pitch black coloured body with an oily glow and a thinnish off-white head. Aroma of deep roasted malt, light coffee and chocolates with a touch of molasses and a faint bit of vanilla on the edges. Medium-bodied; Super strong roasted or burnt malt and coffee notes with some lactose, a good deal of earth, bourbon and more vanilla than imaginable, especially for the style, but it shows well throughout. Aftertaste is good with vanilla, grain, bourbon, oak, roasted malt, toffee and pungent burnt coffee flavours that hit nicely and leave a complex pungent profile throughout. Overall, a very nice beer that has done well in the bottle. While I don't believe I have any more of these, this would probably still be better in 5 MORE years. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in [Old Town] Alexandria, Virginia on 12-March-2015 for US$8,99 sampled at my house during the first snowstorm of the year on 13-January-2019, almost four years after the purchase and five years after the beer was produced. Rating for this sample: 8,4,8,4,16

Jet black,small tan head.Sweet nose,the roast/alcohol.Chewy sweet palate with medium roast in finish

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out a good mix of roasted malts, oats and a little cocoa. Flavour is rich and robust, with tons of roasted malt, oats and chocolate in decent harmony. This is anything but tame and one-dimensional, but it is also lacking a bit in drinkability with some abrasiveness. All in all, a fairly enjoyable slow sipper of an impie.

Tap@Beer Ditch, Malmö - pours black with tan head. Roasted and sweet malty aroma and taste, with big chocolate prominence, ashy charred burnt malty notes, coffee beans, decent hoppy backing, roasted finish.
