Bottled. A black beer with a thin dark brown head. The aroma has notes of honey and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of honey, pollen, and rosted malt, leading to a cloyingly sweet finish.

A brag got thanks to andrepintado! Pours opaque black, small brown head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Darkest pouring mead I have yet seen. Aroma is honey for sure, dirt, floral notes, roasted malts. Flavor is medium sweet, medium bitter, roasty, earthy, floral honey. A touch of acidity. Medium body. This is an odd one.

Sample from 50 cl. bottle. Near black with a dense, tanned head. Sweet aroma with sweet, herbal notes - honey. Dark, roasted malts, coffee, licorice and dark, dried fruits. Taste is sweet. Full body with an oily texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes sweet with herbal honey notes, Interesting combo.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours an opaque black with a small, beige head. Definitely some honey spice up the nose. Medium body, subtle roast but the honey dominates matters here. There’s a slight tartness towards the end. An interesting idea to combine a black beer with honey, but it works surprisingly well. 310115

Bottle by Cuso. Aroma light solventy, other than that fruity, medicinal, alcohols, warm. Complicated. Very dark brown colour. Taste medicinal and fruity, dark fruits. Finish is alcoholy, warming. Have drank better. Late finish shows dark malt. 3 is the best I can give. I have to say it is interesting.
