(Draft at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 21 Aug 2025) Black colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of black coffee, dark chocolate and liquorice. Malty, roasted taste with black coffe, dark chocolate, liquorice, soy sauce and a balanced coffee bitterness. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Rich and powerful, with lots of fresh coffee, a touch of alcohol and a balanced sweetness. Very nice.

very dark brown with a creamy smooth brown head. looks awesome
aroma is dominated by roasted coffee and hard roasted malts, the malt aroma is similar to lomfjordsporter so also some smoked notes. dark chocolate.
flavor is chocolate, roasted malts, bitterness from alc, bitterness from a spicy herbal hopping (i think). decent but a tiny bit strangely herbal - could be coffee or something else.

Bottle at Fierce. It pours opaque black with a medium tan head. The earthy roast, big coffee action, cookie dough, rocky road and chocolate cake. The taste is rich roasted malt, chewy, sticky, oily, plenty of coffee, cookie dough, chocolate cake, more coffee, sticky and alcohol with a drying finish. Thick body, foamy carbonation and oily mouth feel. Big and chewy. Works well.
