Jul 27, 2009 An almost black colored beer, with a thick foamy beige head. The aroma of burned malts with fruits like dark cherries with some raisins. The taste id dry, there smoked malt, bitter of chocalte with some little sweets of fruits. The aftertaste is dry bitter with smoke and a little spices.

Nov 10, 2007 cask at the three judges- pours opaque with a foamy head. smells roasted malts chocolate tastes hop character is much stronger now than in the bottle version, at least that i can remember. it is wonderful, great condition, tastes spot on. there is a long citrus finish, but begins with chocolate, and roasted flavors. each mouthful is something different. it is a great brew.

Apr 15, 2008 Nose: Big coffee notes underscored by faint hops.
Palate: Rich, luscious coffee and dark, bitter chocolate. Very faint, fruity hops. Classicly styled.

Aug 10, 2007 Bottle at Chris o Shindig. Very dark brown with tan head. That’s good. I like all of it. Aroma, mouthfeel, finish. Superb. One of the beers of the day for me.

Apr 25, 2008 Fruity blackcurrant chocolate malt on the nose with a touch of peat, looks great in the glass. Has a very pleasing smokey chocolate dark fruit flavour with a dryish hop finish which leaves you looking forward to another sip....an immensely well conceived beer that is a pleasure to drink.

Feb 14, 2008 Cask @ Gallows Bird, Espoo, Real Ale Festival 2008. Dark-dark brown. Small beige head. Big chocolate and coffee aroma. Very smooth and silky. The taste is of roasted coffee, then some liqurice. The looong finish is bitter with warming alcohol.

Apr 14, 2009 Pours a pitch black with nothing much in the way of a head. Aroma is heaven itself: toasty and a touch of booze, dark fruit (raisins) and salted caramel. Yum! Taste is surprising: It has a nice roasty bite, present but subdued and well-balanced hops (which linger nicely intermingled with the roastiness in the aftertaste) and until it’s really, really warmed up, not a lot in the middle (sweetness or body). Once it warms, though, it kicks in with toasted oat/coconut cookie, graham cracker, touch of caramel. Complex and delicious! Body is lightly carbonated and while creamy, not entirely thick or chewy. I really, really like this, and aside from the astringent lightly peppery finish, I wouldn’t have pegged it for an impy, so it wears itself well, though at 8% I shouldn’t expect too much burn. Very, very nice.
