The darkest member of the 8.6 pack. Black and robust with an exceptionally strong body. This lager is made from burnt barley, like roasted coffee beans for a full and intense flavour. It has a light and creamy texture and a pleasantly sweet taste finish. 8.6 Black is brewed with natural mineral water from our own spring and the best barley malt and hops. It takes character to tame this impressive black wolf.

0,5 enkeltmannspakke fra lokal supermercado, på balconasen i Funchal: brunsvart med ok skum. Deilig aroma og smak av mørkrøstede malter, kaffe, 70%-chokolader og fin furunålsbitterhet. Tørr avslutning med mersmak, definitivt den beste i 8.6-serien.

Some unnatural aroma and taste. Light body. A bit weak given the alcohol content.

Довольно сносный но слишком дорогой в соотношение качеству и цены Балтийский портер из Голландии. Вкус очень сладкой карамели и хлеба. В послевкусие чересчур сильно чувствуется алкоголь.

Can 50 cl. Clear, dark brown with an orange hue and a lacing, beige head. Sweet roast nose with some licorice. Solid body, sweet and roasty with those licorice notes shining throughout. Subdued bitterness. A surprisingly smooth and pleasant Sweet Stout. 230924

500 ml can, from a minimarket in Funchal. ABV is 7.9%. Black colour, moderate beige head. Moderate roasty aroma, a hint of chocolate. Fairly smooth flavour, very subdued roastiness, some sweetness but not too much, again a hint of chocolate.
