From old tasting notes. Dark brown color, nearly opaque. Medium tan head. Slight malt nose. Slightly sweet flavor has little malt or hops to speak of. Thin bodied. Highly carbonated.

From old notes - Pours near black with a big tan head that fades quickly. It smells of roast malt and a little chocolate. It tastes of sweet malt, a little roast, and chocolate. It’s light to medium bodied and seemed overly sweet for the style. Minimal hops. Mediocre. I’m surprised the ratings are as high as they are. I suppose if I see it again sometime I will give it another try.

* under cap puzzle translates to: Miami Vice* Pours oily black with a thin, dark tan head that dissipates quickly. Prune, dark vinous fruit, coffee aroma. Smoky, black cherry/ chocolate flavour....malty. Acidic, sharp and toffee’d. A very different porter... Very enjoyable...imperial accents without the higher ABV.

Bottle. Pours black, looks pretty thick - thicker than I had expected. Leaves a modest, beige head. Some coffee and chocolate in the nose. Flavor has some nice caramel sweetness, then gives way to notes of chocolate, burnt malts and tobacco in the finish. Medium bodied, tingly carbonation. Pretty decent.

Weak aroma of dark toasted malts with vanilla hints. Black, thin tan head..Thin mouthfeel, Sour charcoal flavor. Thin mouthfeel. More of a schwarzbier than anything else. I always try to rate without looking at how others have rated it. I was amazed to find so many people have rated this so high. Although there didn’t seem to be anything off about my sample, I had trouble finishing it.

Bottle. Deep brown body. Short, diminishing tan head. The aroma is somewhat mild with notes of roasted malts and caramel. Hints of chocolate, coffee and vanilla. The flavor is moderately sweet and ightly bitter, but finishes moderately bitter and lightly sweet. Moderate acidity also in the finish along with some metallic notes and slight cardboard, oxidation flavor. Medium body with a thin, watery texture and lively carbonation. Mocha java aftertaste was nice but an off-tastet took the beer down several notches.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of over ripe fruits, chocolate, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of roasted malt, and a slight touch of soy sauce, leading to a dry bitter finish. The mouthfeel is oily. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
