(Can, 0.473 l, from Alko, 20160814) The beer poured black with an enormous lightly brown head. Aroma had burnt malts, pine and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, pine, liquorice, sweetness, ash and bitterness. Aftertaste was burnt, hoppy and bitter. A decent hoppy and burnt brew.

Taste is smooth, hoppy, herbal and slightly roasty with some sweetish fruits, citrus, resin and rye. Finish is hoppy, fruity and slightly roasty with some sweetness, syrup, rye and hints of licorice. Pretty tasty.

Draft at Beer Authority. Dark brown with a tan head that leaves coating lace on the glass. Roasted malts, caramel, pine hops, and some herbal notes. Balanced malt and hop presence. Soft carbonation, clean, somewhat dry close. Pretty nice example of the style.

Medium sweet flavor with creamy chocolate character, some burnt caramel, light smoke, bitter earth and pine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation and velvety mouthfeel. Finishes sweet, lightly warming, with slick chocolate, oily pine, some bitter char. Not bad overall.

Can. Chocolate malt and spruce aroma. Dark brown with moderate tan head. Sweet light chocolate malt and strong bitter spruce/grapefruit peel flavor. Lingering hops bitterness. A hop bomb.

16 oz. can purchased at the Beer Store, Nashua, NH. Pours pitch black with lasting fluffy head. Aroma shows light roast with a moderate amount of earthy pine. I enjoy the aroma.

The Flavor show the nice lingering pine throughout the sip with a decent amount of roast. Thicker caramel and burnt malts supports the pine and mild notes of citrus. Citrus only found when it was real warm in the last 7 oz. of the beer. (Sipped this slow) secondary tones of coffee. The texture is dry with a decent medium to fuller body. A nice drink.
