Big brown head. Opaque black body. Strong spicy roasty burnt aroma with wood, tar, and milk notes. Dry (and faintly acidic) burnt pine needle taste with resiny coffee notes. Mid-bodied. Smooth, buttery mouthfeel. Dry burnt coffee taste with spicy pine needle notes and traces of chocolate. A hard and intense beer because of all the black malts, but interesting and drinkable even so. (0.33l bottle, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)

Bottled. A deep red beer with a huge light tan head. The aroma has strong notes of spices - cinnamon and cloves, as well as notes of caramel and malt - reminding me more of christmas. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, malt, caramel, bread, and spices - cinnamon and cardemon, leading to a dry spicy finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.
