On tap at EBF 08. People had been going on about this for 2 days, so I thought that I would give it a go. Black, no head. Stunning aroma. Stunning. Great bitter choc espresso stout. ONe of the beers of the festival. It really stood out even though it was one of the last beers I had on the Saturday after drinking for 12 hours solid. A beer that lived up to the hype.

Black with a small, light brown head. Aroma has licorice, chocolate and other roast malt. Dry and roasted flavour with a touch of charcoal. A little hoppiness, and a touch of smoke at the end. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel

Almost completely black in its naked body appearance. Dark malty smell with smoky highlights. Gentle, velvet-like taste of well balanced liquorice, coffee and chocolate malts, and then ending up with a long-lived, bittersweet finish. Flat and dusty in the mouth. Full bodied. Just great (draught at EBF, 13.09.2008).

(On tap) Completely opaque black with a small rough light brown head. Fat aroma of hard roasted malt, prunes and a discreet whiff of smoke. Quite full-bodied with very sweet burned malts, dried fruit and again a warming alcoholic finish with a lightly burned ashy malt bitterness. Lovely. 120908

Draught at European Beer Festival, Copenhagen. Very black, no head. Intensely chocolatey with some molasses. Sweet with lemony licorice and some black currant. Concentrated aniseed with notes of tobacco and burnt sugar. In the finish artificial sweetness burns for a faint second.
