Bottle at Goblet with Hrabren and Karlo. Very dark brown body, off-whtie head. Heavy, nutty, caramelly aroma, some raisin, bit of vanilla maybe. Dried plums, raisins and caramel in the taste, bit floral, the roastiness giving it some astringency too. Old school, for better or worse.

Keg at Bishops Arms Östersund. Sweet aroma. Mahogany appearance. Nothing great or bad to comment on. Classic strong ale but not too much intrigue in the end.

Aromas are malt, toffee, oak and a hint of raisins. Flavors are similar to nose, bittersweet with soft carbonation. Not bad but I think it would be better hand-poled from a firkin.

14.9 oz can. I know I rated this on Ratebeer at least 15 years ago. Not sure why it didn’t transfer to Brewver. Aroma is floral, lightly bready. Pours nearly clear golden with a half finger cream-white head that reduces slowly. Taste has a bready malt sweetness backed by a slowly building herbal hop bitterness. Has that signature English Samuel Smith flavor profile. Perfectly carbonated velvety mouthfeel for a lager. One thing about it, I appreciate subtle lagers like this a hell of a lot more than I used to during the early Ratebeer days. It was due for a re-rate. More fair to this delicious beer.

Optisch tiefschwarz und lichtundurchdringlich. Die hellbraune, fein- bis mittelporige Schaumkrone gibt sich sehr beständig. In der Nase vernimmt man röstige Malznoten von Schokolade, Kakao und Mokka. Der Antrunk kommt frisch, röstig, schokoladig bis mokkaartig und röstig-herb. Das Mundgefühl wird von einem Körper mit mäßiger Fülle geprägt. Feine Rezenz, eine seidig-sämige Textur sowie eine zarte Trockenheit runden das Profil ab. Geschmacklich und aromatisch bleibt es weiterhin röstig malzig und zart süß mit dominanten Noten von Schokolade und Kakao. Dazu legt sich eine passende, leicht trockene Herbe. Dieses Bier hält exakt das was es verspricht - Schokonoten par excellence, zarter Kaffee, zarte Süße, angenehme Trockenheit. Grundsätzlich harmonisch und auch passend, aber je mehr Temperatur dieses Bier bekommt, desto unangenehmer wird die Aromatisierung, desto künstlicher schmeckt sie auch und desto mehr erinnert sie an diese fertigen Schokoaroma-Zusätze für Kaffee. Der Nachtrunk bleibt langlebig schokoladig und geht langsam in eine leicht trockene Herbe über.

Dark impenetrable ruby red black with a good 1cm head. Chocolate all the way on the nose. Vanilla, hint of cola, milky coffee, pocket espresso, hazelnuts. Nice in the mouth, chocolate mocha, sweet coffee. Very well balanced, not cloying, nice lingering coffee notes. Nice novelty.

All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso e persistente. Il tetto della bocca porta note di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, agrumi, arancia rossa, cannella e frutta passita.
