50 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 16.01.2009
Aroma has chocolate, some coffee notes, hints of nuts and smoke. Flavour has licorice, some coffee, semi‐dark chocolate and hints of smoke. Slightly sour finish with ashy notes. Excellent stuff for this ABV, it is quite amazing how tasty beers williams can do with only 4-5%.

500ml bottle. Clear dark brown with average, frothy to creamy, minimally lacing, beige head. Dark malty and slightly grainy aroma has hints of dark fruit, some roast and coffee notes. Taste is initially dry hoppy with a soapy tendency, later still dry with a roasty and dark malty touch; slightly watery in the second half; finish has to some degree lasting, explicit, albeit only decent roasty notes.

0.5l bottle @ Henrik, Bergen shared with ClubGonzo and InBreak. This is a clear dark cola-colored beer with a small bubbly and sidesticking dark beige head. Aroma has notes of dark malts, some caramel, thin coffee, earthy tones and some quite distinct milk chocolate notes. Not bad actually. Average carbonation, quite thin and light-bodied and it has a somewhat watery mouthfeel. Light roasted and malty flavors. Mild caramel with a nice sweetness, hints of sour licorice and it finishes with a mild and both dry and watery finish. Good stuff

Bottle from Peckhams Union Square. It pours jet black with a thin foamy tan head and moderate carbonation. The nose is caramel, roasted malt, liquorice and chocolate. The taste is caramel, milk chocolate, sour tang, roasted malt, coffee and liquorice, with a light roasty finish. Simple and a bit thin, but drinkable nonetheless.
