UPDATED: AUG 24, 2023 Bottle @ home. Well stored bottle (9 years). Dark brown body under a small, beige head. Quite alcoholic aroma, dark malt, chocolate and coffee. Taste is sweet, smooth roasted dark malt, caramel, chocolate, coffee, brown sugar, molasses, good bitterness and warming alcohol. Fine body with sweet and alcoholic aftertaste. Nice, but still a bit rough edged after all this years.

UPDATED: OCT 3, 2018 From backlog. 0,3 litre Bottle from Vinmonopolet Hamar. Almost Black with light brown head. Too boozy, Didn’t like IT at The time.

Bottle split at Kennys CPH fart dungeon, thanks to Kenny, 10/05/18. Rich chestnut brown with a decent beige cap. Nose is bitter sweet fruit rinds, toffee, nutty, light varnish. Taste comprises dark malts, faint coffee grinds, light spice, caramel, fruit slice, boozey. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of alcohol. Ok strong ... a touch too hot and lacking balance.

Shared 12 oz. bottle poured to a small snifter showing a murky, darkest brown color, with some ruby highlighting, a fair layer of tan froth, and spots of lacing. The nose presented sweetness, roast, mocha notes, char, and dark fruit skins. Medium bodied, with mild carbonation, the taste was similar, adding warmth, roasted & earthy bitterness, and some dryness to the finish.

Hotel tasting. Imperial Hotel. Semi opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and fairly well, modest fine carbonation. Fair amount of tangy dark chocolate. Little wet wood.. Fair bit of spice. Rich ripe spicy dark fruits. Light acidic finiah. Rich and tasty but also quite acidic.
