Black Damnation is black as hell, filthy rich in the nose and boasts massive taste. This brew is the perfect marriage of the sweet, unxious flavors from Black Albert and the bitter charcoal and coffee profile from the Hel & Verdoemenis. Good luck finding some, the last batch was made in 2010!
50% of Black Albert was used with another 50% of H&V. Black coloured beer with just a sliver of a dark tan head. Aroma is glorious & full of coffee, brown sugar, dark fruity chocolate. Flavours of H&V are quite evident, charcoal and mineral notes, chocolate, cocoa powder. Good coffee chocolate finish with good balancing bitterness and hops & sugar in the after taste. 2009 vintage 12% abv 2010 vintage 13% abv.

Sehr dunkler und stark voluminöser Malzantrunk, der andere Aromen erstmal beiseite schiebt. Die Intensität lässt zwar nicht nach (im Gegenteil), es wird aber leicht süß, wodurch das Malz weniger stark erscheint. Der an sich starke Hopfen kommt erst im Mittelfeld zum Tragen und setzt sich ins harmonische Gesamtbild. Zudem wird das Bier hier röstiger, toast-artig und alkoholisch süß, dazu passend süffig. Im Nachgeschmack weiter sehr malzig-röstig, die alkoholische Süße ist harmonisch und gibt dem Bier Pepp. Lang anhaltender Nachgeschmack, in dem der Hopfen erneut zu Worte komme. Im Abgang scharf. Hier stimmt einfach alles! 12/13/12/12//12

13% version. Opaque black stout, frothy chocolate coloured head. Smooth palate turning creamy and frothy. Light and airy. Incredibly rich, chocolate, sourish malt, red fruits, nutty and woody flavours. Even a dash of brandy in there. All comes together in this beautiful soft beer. Outstanding.

Bottle 13ABV. Creamy lightbrown good mostly lasting head. Beer slowly climbing out of the bottle. Genie? Black colour. Sour aroma overpowering roast and chocolate. Heavy biter strong flavor. more power than finesse. Long heavy bitter roasted finish. creamy palate. Disapointment but it is a good beer.

2009 Vintage bottle@Kulminator: usual appearance of the series oil black with mocha head, maybe a bit a lesser in darkness, dark, slightly roasted dark, dark malt with lots of the kind of pure chocolate that I find in health food cereal, rye, brewed, fair-trade coffee, toast, liquorice, touch of warming alcohol, bit less creamy than the other BA variations, bit more full-bodied than creamy

13% bottled edition at Schraevenacker. It pours opaque black, with a thin tan head and soft carbonation. The nose is caramel, toasted oat, blackcurrant, blackberry, vanilla, coffee, liquorice and lots of cocoa powder. The taste is full of milk and dark chocolate, blackcurrant, cherry, orange, rich-roast coffee, charcoal, caramel and toffee. It’s dense, complex and rich. A great blend of two awesome beers.

Bottle courtesy of Papsoe. Thanks! Gusher. Pours a dark reddish brown color with a thin brown head. Good head retention and average lacing. Aroma of roasted malts, dry leathery notes, coffee and bitter, minty hops. The taste is roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, leafy bitter hop notes and cherry cough syrup. Thin-medium bodied. Slight infection.

11.2 oz bottle, sent from Glouglouburp, pours oily black with a minimal tan head. Intense aroma of espresso, roasted malt, cocoa, wood, and considerable hint of sweetness to come. Extremely full-bodied flavour of espresso, dark cocoa, slight woodiness, a hint of dark fruits and slight sweetness. Exceptionally well-rounded and the alcohol is remarkably worked in at 13%, with barely an alcohol tingle. Outstanding.
