Ins Glas ergießt sich ein sehr dunkelbraunes fast schwarzes Bier mit schöner beigen Schaumkrone. Geruch sehr röstmalzig, Kaffee, schokoladig. Geschmack angenehm röstmalzig, schokoladig, Kaffeebohnen.

Bottle. A big, tan head forms over an almost black body. The aroma has coffee, chocolate, oatmeal and some faint alcohol notes. Lots of coffee in the flavor, with the same chocolate and oatmeal found in the aroma. The alcohol gives some warmth, but overall it bears the ABV pretty well. Nice carbonation level, full body. The finish is of the lasting kind, with a tad too much bitterness. Anyway, it’s sure a nice beer, and I wouldn’t mind having more of it. 140307

0.33l bottle. It's quite dark this one, as good as black looking in the glass and it has a really good looking big dark brown colored head with her great retention. Not much to put to finger on when it comes to the looks, and it smells really nice as well. There is something light smoky here. As is darkbitter chocolate and a good amount of generic roastiness. I can see now from the bottle that this contains a good amount of smoked malts, and that really present in the aroma! There is also a little bit of coffee to be found. It has a nice big oily mouthfeel this and the carbonation level is just about average. Loaded with smoky deliciousness. Not the sweet beefy kind, but more rocky campfire and a little bit of licorice box. Also lots of chocolate flavors here! All that, but it manages to keep itself from being over the top. I actually tastes quite balanced and harmonic. Light mouthdrying finish with a little bit of both wood and alcohol. Yeah, quite a good one! 06.11.2013

Bottle thanks to an IP trade with Ronny (rlgk), first beer of ’14 consumed at home in the wee hours having been DD for the night, 01/01/14. Pitch black with a mahoosive dirty tan head that slowly dissipates to a covering that stays for the show. Nose is roast malt, chocolate maltesers, earthy cocoa tones, toffee fudge, leather. Taste comprises earthy cocoa, molasses, roast malt, light coffee notes, leather, tar, light mineral notes. Medium bodied with bite, soft and smooth on the pale, light booze and hint of spice in the closure. Easy drinking impy, not hugely complex but a good balance and enough going on to keep you interested, alcohol is well integrated in this number.

Bottle, 13C. Very black with a large tan head that fades to a coat. Aroma of mocha, dark berries, sticky breadcrusts. Sweet with salty dulce de leche and mocha, dark berries. Dries out towards the end, slightly ashy there. Firm bitterness with spices and some pine. No overt alcohol. Rock solid but not all that interesting.
