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.

Negra de tinte rojizo, casi opaca. Espuma beige, abundante. Aroma a chicle de fresa. En boca disimula bien el alcohol. De cuerpo moderado y gas contenido. Sabor de predominio dulce, con notas tostadas y de café, y algún toque frutal. Algo empalagosa, recordando jarabe.

can from palma. pours very dark brown, with a brown head. aroma i more dark caramelly than roasted malty. also some booze and what might resemble berry-peel bitterness. Flavor is burnt caramel, faint roasted malts, some booze, some dark dried fruits. Blind tasted, i would guess a dubbel or a brown ale. lacks malts before it resembles a baltic porter imo. way too much caramel and weird flavors.

Can, stable bubbly creamy mocha head, opaque black color, aroma of dark bread with some coffee, flavor of dark chocolate with some cola and dark bread, almost completely dry and surprisingly light. Nice and drinkable.

Can. Very dark brown to black with a beige to light brown head. Aroma of caramel, alcohol (too much), licorice, roast, some dark chocolate and coffee notes. Sweet boozy flavor, roasty, caramelly, with licorice, some coffee, candies and a harsh bitterish alcoholic finish. Medium-bodied, slightly sticky. Some decent Baltic Porter elements, but way too boozy, and the candy-ish sweetness doesn’t help. Hard to drink.

50cl can @ friend’s birthday party. Small fizzy, quickly diminishing beige to slightly brown head on top of a dark brown colored beer with a dark red glare coming through. Smell some malts, sweetish and slightly some weird roastyness. Taste malts, dark malts, lightly roasty, some herbal-ish finish. A bit thin texture, average body, medium carbonation.
