Bottle, thanks to Ken for this rarity. It pours very dark brown, with a thick light tan head. The nose is roasted malt, caramel, subdued smoke and Bavarian smoked ham. The taste is roasted malt, light smoke, charcoal, caramel, slight tanginess, wood, chocolate and subtle bourbon, with dry, lightly smoked finish. Nice restrained level of smokiness. Decent.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, alcohol, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, alcohol, and over ripe fruits, leading to a dry finish.

Tasting at Papsø’s, 6% ABV
The color is very dark, almost black; it has a small brownish head. The aroma is pungent, dust and perfume, ashes, fusels. The roasted malt and chocolate flavor is decent, but quickly spoiled by a perfumy combination (probably the result of the cinnamon), while the chili touch is moderate; low bitterness.
I would like to see this same chili presence is some better beer; this one is messy.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Theis. Pours a cloudy opaque dark brown with a smallish beige head. Sweet cocoa and chili dominate the aroma. Medium body, again very sweet cocoa nibs, sweet candy-like roast and then again quite a chili bite. Lowish carbonation and no real hoppiness. 160612

Batch 13. 22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy, near-opaque golden orange with a creamy, medium white head. Aroma is full of tropical fruits, particularly mangos and pineapple, citrus fruits, and dry caramel malts - beautiful nose. Flavour of boozy tropical fruits as mentioned, grapefruit and orange zest, generous malt backing, ending with lots of dry hops, intense grapefruit peel bitterness and apparent alcohol. Reminds me of a boozier, harsher Dreadnaught. Very good, if boozy.
