Backlog September 2011. Dark brown, almost black body under a beige head. Nice aroma of dark, roasted malt, soy, licorices and citric hops. Taste is Sweet, dark, roasted malt, coffee, fruity hops and nice bitterness. Fine body with long lasting sweet and bitter aftertaste, warming alcohol. Very nice.

Backlog September 2011. Dark brown, close to black body under a fading beige head. Strong aroma of dark malt, soy, American hops and citric fruits. Taste is sweet malt, some roasted malt, citric fruits and bitter hops and quite alcoholic. Fine body with sweet, bitter and boozy aftertaste. Really nice start here, but the high alcohol make it feels a bit too muchfor me.
