Bottled@Fonefan. A perfect ending to two very nice days around in Ulfborg! Very dark rubyish brown colour (close to black) with small creamy brown head that stays for a while. Aroma is raisins, smoked wood, some peat, mild smoke as well as some slight fruityness. Flavour is roasted malts, coffee, licorice, alcohol as well as some mildly smoked wet wood. Really complex and wellbalanced. Fullbodied.

bottle at Ft Wayne locals tasting - Pours very dark brown with a big light tan head. The aroma is very light for the style with some roast malt and maybe some fruit in there. The chocolate roast malt flavor is moderately hopped. This brew is medium bodied and very drinkable. I wouldn’t have guessed the ABV is that high. It’s interesting, but give me a big, bold imperial stout or baltic porter instead.

Courtesy of after4ever. Pours deep dark amber with thin mocha head. The aroma is musty dark fruity esters and black licorice. Soon, after a bit of warming perhaps, a velvety dark chocolate note rises up mingling with a faint earthy – tobacco – smoke note. The taste is smooth and near silky. It starts with a mixture of chocolate, prunes, dates, plums, more chocolate and nuttiness. By midway the sweetness grows as a velvety dark chocolate note joins in and carries to the finish. As the finish approaches the earthiness tobacco smoke wells up just to the surface bringing the experience to a close. YUM!!

Scharf malziger Geruch, etwas schokoladig. Trocken malziger Antrunk mit wenig feststellbarer Hopfennote. Im Mittelteil findet eine aromatische Entbreitung statt, besonders das Malz wirkt voll und lecker. Herb im hinteren Teil und im Abgang, angenehm und knackig, zum Ende hin erst etwas milder, später röstig-süß. Danke an den Doppelbock für das Teilen des Bieres. Test vom 24.9.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,11,11,12,13,11 - 11,25

Sehr malzig-frischer Antrunk, eher mild. Süßlich, die Malzigkeit ist füllend aber nicht sehr aromatisch. Röstig-süß, im Abgang zum ersten Mal stark rauchig. Hier zudem würzig-aromatisch. Nettes Bier! Vielen Dank an den Doppelbock für das Bier! Test vom 24.9.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,11,11,12,10,12 - 11,60
