DrinkEmUpJones (14), USA Aug 7, 2008 WOW. Pours nearly black w/yellowish head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is ’Christmas’--Bitter chocollate, brown sugar and malt. Big coffee flavor with notes of caramel & smoke. Full, rich body, but not overpowering. Nice balance of malt with subtle, hoppy finish. MitchWayne (264), Kokkola, Finland Aug 7, 2008 Full bodied and malty, roasty and soft, one oof the best beers sold in Alko in Finland. The complexity of the malts and the overall balance of it all makes this a great beer for me. FastEddie (178), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Aug 6, 2008 This is a really satisfying, substantive, sweet, dark beer. How can you not love it? It’s got body, and flavor, and everything you’d want. DarkBeer (47), Ohio, USA Aug 6, 2008 Pours dark brown, almost black. Very full-bodied, malty flavor, feels thick and chewy in the mouth. Something caramel in the taste. but that’s not overhwhelming. Bitter on the aftertaste, but it doesn’t linger too long. A very nice brew. Allstar (30), , Virginia, USA Aug 5, 2008 It pour a beautiful dark brown/black, also had a thick brown head that settled to a pure white. It had a very full bodied taste. Tastes of carmel and mocha. Slight bitter finish but not over bearing at all. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Aug 2, 2008 (Bottle). Very strong, sweet malty aroma. Color is deepest brown, almost black. Smallish tan head. Flavor a symphony of roasty malted caramel notes, with satisfying mouthfeel and dry lasting finish. This is a heckuva good beer; can’t wait to repeat the experience. Bigmmartin (366), Dayton, Ohio, USA Aug 2, 2008 Bottle. One of my favorite beers and one of the first craft brews I ever tried. Aroma is a pleasant roasted sweet maltiness. It looks great, a model of a beer. Deep amber in color with a thick tan head. Excellent flavors of sweet roasted malt and caramel. Extremely drinkable but also flavorful. blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Aug 1, 2008 bottle, dark ruby color with a khaki colored head, fruity caramel nose, flavors of cocoa, fruit and coffee, very balanced smooth finish
