Bottle from EZ. Pours out black with a moderate tan head. Aroma is of chocolate, citrus hops and some roasted malts. Chocolate is right up front with some roasted malts, burnt wood, slight smoke and some citrus hops in there too, put that all together with a rather smooth mouthfeel and this is a pretty solid beer. The only issue I had was that I was searching for a little more upfront hop flavor.

Dec 29, 2009 Bottle at ChrisO’s pre-GBBF tasting, 1st Aug 09. Pitch black with a thick tan head. Loads of light hops but also tar, Vosene and other subtle medicinal notes. Rich and full with nice roasted notes coming through as you savour it. Good stuff.

Dec 27, 2009 Filthy brew. Emmmmmmmm pure effing dommy. Awesome hop stout aroma, but the flavor was just a hopped chocolate with no coffee. Kind of like a really good bitter dark chocolate in a beer, but instead of lots of chocolate it had more floral/pine hops. Awesome beverage.

Dec 21, 2009 Updated: Dec 22, 2009My 1500th rating! Bottle. Pours a dark creamy shinny near black with a tall airy foamy lighter mocha colored frothy head, very similar two the Morke and also very Nogne. Aroma of bright sweet citrus and chocolate cookies, lots of juicy hoppy citrus, pineapples, sharp resinous pine, some plastic and alcohol. Woa, flavor is tar, lots of alcohol, plastic, dark chocolate cookies, some dark syrupy burnt molasses, the sweet citrus is actually pretty nice once you get used to the initial bitterness/charred flavor, finishing very ashy and quite quick. Medium bodied with a fuller mouth-feel, creamy, sharp fizzy larger spread-out carbonation, quite drinkable. Definitely has more flavor than the Morke, lots of similarities though in the overall feel.

Dec 20, 2009 Bottle. A crazy mix of really roasty coffee, citrusy/pineapple hops, and a little malt sweetness. Bitter hop, coffee flavor. Really weird, and the combination doesn’t work at all. Reminds me of Allagash’s Burnham Road as it exhibits a pairing of flavors that just shouldn’t be mixed at all -- in this case, coffee and citrus, in that case sweet smoke and Belgian yeast.
