Dark brown-black colour, big tan head. Aroma has roasted malts and yeast. Flavour has roasted malts, some bitter chocolate. Nice imperial stout.

Huge light brown shiny lasting head. Good cling. Deep red barely translucent body, made hazy from floaties. Deep sweet harmonic aroma is a mix of alcohol, wild berries, and licorice, surprisingly light, with earthy, herbal notes. Frist impression is licorice and chocolate, but very thin, followed by soapy, peppery notes. Some herbs and earth, too. There is very little taste, though, and it feels strangely light and thin, and even a bit acidic. Seems like it was most likely lightly infected in the bottle. Should rerate. (0.33l bottle from De Gekraakte Ketel, Amsterdam. BBD Feb ’09.)

Bottle, 8.5%. Vinous aroma. Almost black colour with a red shine. Small light brown head. The flavour is a little rough with grain bitterness. The finish is rough malt bitterness. 6 3 6 3 13

A deep red beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is very yeasty with hints of chocolate. The flavor is sweet caramel with notes of chocolate and hints of smoke leading up to a bitter end.
