Bottle @ Post-Easter Procrastination, Ulfborg. Pours cloudy very dark brown with airy tan head. Clear aroma of roast, chocolate and malt, with touches of caramel and liquorice. Sweetish flavour of coffee and chcocolate and lactose, complemented by roasty notes and faint, hoppy touches. Bitter and roasty anftertaste. Low carbonation but the body is medium to rich. Okay.

Bottle. Pours opaque black with a small brown head and decent lacing. Aroma is coffee, dark roasted malts, chocolate, a bit of citrus. Flavor is about the same, lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Medium plus body. Decent, but nothing spectacular.

2009 Limited Release bottle picked up in Santa Barbara. Pours with a black body and a brown head that fades before it arrives. Somewhat glass coating. Aroma of brown sugar, baked biscuits, chocolate, cinnamon, cocoa powder, vanilla beans, pretty rich smelling. Flavors are not so good. Light infection. Vinous, dark fruits, bitter cocoa, lactic sourness, metallic. Light bubbles, watery, infection (once again!).

2009 Bomber from BevMo Salinas. Nose of coffee, chocolate, and a slight sourness; must be slightly infected. Black with a small cinnamon tan head. Flavor is chocolate, coffee, pepperiness, and a slight hint of off sourness; not too bad of an infection. 5/4/6/2/11/ 2.8 A fresh bomber of 2009 from the brewpub! Much better! Nose of strong roasted coffee and chocolate. Clear black with cherry edges and a small cinnamon colored head. Flavor is coffee and more coffee, light bitterness over a hint of chocolate. Very good this bottle.
