Bottle. A black one, with a nice beige head leaving lacing. The aroma has chocolate and roasted malt, with notes of coffee. Quite plain, but nice. The same can be said about the flavor, plain but nice, with the same chocolate, roasted malts and coffee found in the aroma. Some cocoa and generic dark malt flavor too. Full to medium body and a very smooth carbonation. Semi-sweet. Medium length finish. A pleasant brew indeed, Trollbryggeriet has certainly improved over the years. 241103

Bottle. It's close to pitch black in the glass, with a small, dense, light beige head. The aroma has quite a lot of black coffee and dark chocolate, with roasted, almost burnt malt notes and some mocha. It's full bodied and smooth on the palate, a tad hard on the carbonation, and mostly on the dry side. Dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malts and a hint of bread crust and dark dried fruit in the flavor. A gentle bitterness backs up the little sweetness. Medium length finish. A pleasant and well brewed beer I won't shy away from repeating. 241103

Bottle. It's an almost clear one, golden in color and topped by a small, dense, white head. The aroma is quite candy-fruity for a pilsner, but only just after the pour, with piney, grassy hops and a peppery hint. Pale malts in the back. It's quite dry on the palate, nicely carbonated and medium bodied, with a decent bitterness. The flavor has a light maltyness in the back, with piney, grassy hops up front. Some peppery hints, a little generic fruitness and some metallic notes towards the else nice finish. A clean and quite well brewed pilsner I wouldn't say no to again. 241103
