Bottle. An almost clear one, dark brown, with a small, dense beige head. The aroma feels gentle at first, but soon turns towards cellar, dark dried fruit, raisin and figs, with bread crust, toffee and some bread crust. Brown sugar too. It’s full-bodied, warming and sweet on the palate, with a gentle bitterness and carbonation. Roasted malts, some coffee and dark chocolate runs the flavor. Brown sugar, dark dried fruits, alcohol and a piney touch too. Long finish, malt driven, with a touch of piney hops in the back. Starts off quite dull, but after a few sniffs it turns out to be a fine brew indeed. 231124

170ml draught at Ølhallen. Pitch black in the glass, filmy fawn-coloured head, spotty lacing. Solid aromas of dried fruits and dark malts. Smooth taste character of prunes, earthy malts, and chocolate, with notes of rum in the background. Long-lived, smoothly malt-forward ending. Full bodied with warmth from the alcohol. Nice slow sipper. (Tromsø, 06.11.2023). --- Beer merged from original tick of Lucifer on 08 Nov 2023 at 09:07 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 10 | Overall - 7.5.

Svart. Mokkafarget skumring. Aroma av eik & svisker. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smake ekstra tørre svisker & mandler. Tørr, lett alkoholisk avslutning. --- Beer merged from original tick of Lucifer on 07 Nov 2023 at 17:46 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.
