Opaque black beer, big pale tan head. Light palate, a little soft and dry. Obvious alcohol. Dark malt that has both bitter and sweet chocolate. Maple is not obvious. Sweet candy fruit before the alcohol dry finish. Bit clunky but all right.

Another brew thanks to Terminus at the Annual Black Friday tasting. It pours with a mahogany body supporting a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up blueberry and molasses covered apple wedges as well as a bit of graham cracker. The taste has similar notes as I get a pleasing rich experience full of blueberry fruitiness, some raisins, a snippet of dark roasted malts and a slipper yet sticky slope of molasses.

Bottle sample at Sour&Bitter Copenhagen. Deep black in the glass, small head. Earthy-malty aroma. Starts intense malty, earthy, some roasty notes, but not too dry. Some fruity hints. Finish dry-malty with notes of cacao and strong coffee. Interesting.

Sample @ the Sour & Bitter event in Copenhagen. Pours hazy dark brown, almost black, with a small creamy mocha head that is rather quick to dissipate and leaves almost no trace. Smell is sweet with coffee, grapes, black currants, vanilla, liquorice fudge, dark spicy bread, molasses, caraway, alcohol and hints of soup stock. Taste is sweet and bitter with liquorice root, black pepper, dark bread, molasses, caraway, soup stock plums and raisins. Mouthfeel is sticky sweet, round and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with bread, spices and dark sugars.
