Clear dark brown to chestnut coloured beer, big creamy beige head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: malty, bit metallic, some chocolate, roasted malts. MF: soft carbon, medium to light body. Taste, bitter start, rather metallic touch, bit sourish, very hoppy. Aftertaste: more roasted notes, lots of coffee, bitter, bit metallic, decent, malty, grains, unpleasant bitterness.

Bottle at home. Pours black, nose is chocolate, coffee, taste is smooth roast chocolate.

(Bottle) Very dark brown, essentially black, with short-lived, thin tan head. Nice aroma, dark roast malt, smoky peaty hints, coffee perhaps. Medium body with decent carbonation. Sweetish rich start with some balancing acidity, develops darker earthier flavours with burnt notes over dried fruits, leading to a finish with some hints if bitterness but mainly dark roast rather than hoppy. Pleasant enough, but seemed a bit light on flavour to me considering how highly it is rated. Not complaining though, it’s a very good beer.

Bottle from Drinkmonger. Black body with a thin beige head that quickly fades to nothing. No lacing. Aroma of chocolate cake, vanilla, dark chocolate, espresso and black cherry. Flavour of treacle, burnt toast, plum and Marmite. Sweet then bitter. Medium body with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Nice fizz. Very malty and quite heavy going.

God duft av kaffe, sjokolade, lakris og vanilje. Dyp mørk brun farge, nesten sort. tynnt lag brunt skum, heng langs kant. Nydelig smak av kaffe, sjokolade, lakris og vanilje.

Dark and smoky, but not as thick and chewy as a Guinness. Small creamy head on an almost black body. Small bite at the finish.

355ml bottle. Opaque, darkest brown colour with average, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, beige to tan head. Roasty dark malty aroma, a touch of ashes, herbal hoppy overtones, a touch of dark berries. Taste is dry, roasty dark malty, bitter hoppy, hints of bitter dark chocolate, cold ashes, cautious hints of coffee; smooth, soft, creamy, slightly sticky palate, lasting roasty malty finish with subtle sweetness. Not really (least of all "very") rich, not bearing fruit, not developing, no capaciousness.

Flaska från Bier-deluxe. Fina rostade aromer med kaffe, choklad, mörkt bröd och lite alkoholvärme. Lätt syrlig, lätt sötma, relativt kärv med lite kåda i smaken. Annars relativt stiltypisk utan några humleexcesser, fina rostade smaker, medelstor lite kärv beska. Trevlig.
