Black color. Very solid brew, strong body, good chocolate flavor (the aroma is simpler), sweet enough, touch of roasted malt, good hopping, strong bitterness and pleasant warming alcohol; powerful. The final has also some roasted nuts Very good.

Bouteille 750ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur brune-rouge foncée et voilée. Nez malté de chocolat noir, de malt rôti, de fruits (raisins légèrement vineux, moyen de prunes, notes de dates), moyen d’’alcool, de caramel toffee et de houblon aux notes terreuses et avec des petites notes de vanille et boisées. Moyenne-ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture riche, moyennement crémeuse et aux notes sirupeuses. Goût fruité (raisins sucrés et moyennement vineux, prunes, notes de dates) accompagné d’un léger goût de vanille et des traces de chocolat au lait (notes lactiques) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût de malt rôti, léger de caramel toffeeaux notes terreuses et avec des petites notes de sucre brun et de mélasse. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve un goût réchauffant d’alcool doux jusqu’en finale où vient se joindre également un moyen goût de café ainsi qu’un moyenne amertume de houblon herbeux aux notes terreuses et des petites notes boisées. Post-goût long et un peu sec, moyennement amer d’alcool, de rôti, de chocolat noir, de café et avec un moyen goût fruité (moût de raisins, notes de pelures de prunes) et des notes boisées.

750 mL from stefanje’s AWESOME summer secret santa shipment. Deep, dark reddish brown pour with a medium head that fades to a thin disc atop the beer. Rich chocolate aroma with notes of alcohol, dark fruits and coconut. Taste is roasted malts, espresso, chocolate, dark fruits, some hop notes and warming alcohol. Full bodied and quite nice. A worthy 900th rating. Thanks Stefan!

Bottle: Dark brown pour with a smaller tan head. Aroma is sweet, full of molasses and brown sugar. Still plenty of roastiness. Tastes of coffee, roast, and dark fruit. Very rich and creamy. The 10% stood out just a tiny bit. Very nice. Thanks BuckDich.
