Bottle. Aromas of dark chocolate and toasted/smoked malt. Near opaque brown/black color with an impressive tan head that laces somewhat. Full bodied with creamy/chewy carbonation. The flavor is coffee, genuinely bitter toasted malt, and bakers chocolate. This is a truly impressive imperial stout. Oh, it’s a porter. Hmm! The finish is dry, and more cacao than coffee. Not quite so bitter as the start. Off and on there’s a floral hop note, but it’s all about dark stuff in a dry toasted way. Half way to Dark Lord?

Super deep and hazy amber coloured body with brown highlights and a very dense tan head - looks perfect for the style! Aroma of fresh, clean malt, a small set of caramalised sugars, apricots and some dry hops - nothing too potent at all. Full-bodied; Deep yeastie and malt flavour almost like a belgian dubbel or tripel with fading hops up front. After that a bit of effervescence settles in along with some alcohol and metal. Aftertaste shows some complexity with a bit of grapefruity hops, some nuts and a tiny bit of fruits. Overall, a good IPA - not a ’true’ US styled beer, but this isn’t from the USA. Good, but a bit lacking in each of the characteristics - definitely worth trying if you can find it though. I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from West LakeView Liquors in Chicago, Illinois on 30-January-2008.

500ml bottle. Dark, dark brown body, almost black. Big foamy, brown head. The head continued getting out of the half-empty bottle for several minutes. Without this volcanic reaction the appearance would be 5. Aroma is light roasted malt, dry fruit, leather and yeast. Flavor is roasted malt, burnt caramel, and roasted coffee. A nice beer with a balanced flavor and a bit aggressive carbonation. Refreshing and easy drinkable. One of my favorites from Haandbryggeriet.
