250ml draught at ØX Tap Room. Tiny beige head, scattered lacing, near-black in the glass. Inviting aromas of black chocolate malts with a peaty scent. Quite solid taste profile of cocoa-chocolate with a peaty backdrop. Oaky. Rounded roasted bitterness to the ending, mouthfilling. Likeable. (Trondheim, 31.07.2024).

On tap at the brewpub. It's alvoret black in the glass, with a small light beige head. Roasted malts, a smoked note and some chocolate in the aroma. Coffee grit and prune. Chocolate butter cream and hints of vanilla. It's smooth and full bodied, softly carbonated and semi sweet, with a very light bitterness. Roasted malts, coffee, chocolate cream, vanilla and sugar and a touch of smoke in the flavor. Quite a lot of dark dried fruit too. Lasting finish with a light warmth. A nice brew indeed, although a tad sweet. 240731
