Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours jet black with a thick tan head. The nose is rich, sweet, roasty, coffee cake, juicy, chocolate, earth and light orangey sweetness. The taste is smooth, rich roast, charred wood, earth, chocolate covered coffee beans, mild acidity, spice, sherbet and orange peel with a dry finish. Medium+ body and moderate carbonation. Well rounded and very drinkable. Nice.

Bottle, 7.4%. Grassy hop aroma, jam and dark roasted malts. Black colour. Small stable creamy brown head. The flavour is smokey and hoppy with a good jam note. Sweet and isotonic. Mild hop bite in the finish. Good.

Bottle from Ales By Mail. Pours cloudy nearly black with airy dark tan head. Clear aroma of roast, with notes of malt and touches of hops. Bitter, roasty flavour, with notes of coffee, dark chocolate and liquorice. Tart bitter aftertaste. Rough, bitter and roasty aftertaste. Really good.

Bottle. It pours a dark brown to black body under a dark tan head of finger-thick size. Lots of Tyrkisk Pæber candy, with lemon and some licorice and coffee in the aroma. Piney and resiny notes too. It’s quite bitter in the mouth, with a touch of alcohol warmth. Full body and a light carbonation level. Lasting roasted finish. Pretty wonderful this one, really like the blend of flavors, although it’s perhaps a bit one dimensional. 140808

33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 10/2014
Aroma has licorice, some hops with grapefruit and gooseberry bush. Flavour is rather hoppy with soy sauce, licorice, cocoa and some grapefruit. Aroma was nice but flavour is slightly messy. More like Black IPA than IS.

Ins Glas ergießt sich ein fast schwarzes Bier mit einer tollen brauenen Schaumkrone. Geruch sehr röstmalzig, Kaffee, reife Früchte, bitter. Geschmack sehr röstmalzig, bittere Schokolade, Kaffeebohnen, leicht alkoholisch.
