A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is fantastic with notes of alcohol, roasted malt, and hops, in a very fine mixture. The flavor is very roasted, which gives it a dryness, but also rather sweet, leading to a good bitter end. Nice.

pours like rich black oil, headless, sweet fruity aroma, thick body, lots of roasted flavor, hint of alcohol in the finish, some fruity character trying to break through but may need a couple years to develop, some rich chocolate finally shows up,

Quite black in colour. Boozy, roasty aroma. Very rich character - grabs your attention and holds it hostage. Big, thick, chewy flavours. Good quality, but doesn’t get exceptional at any point - just big

Pours oily and black, with very little head. Persistent aroma, liquorice with some phenols. Oily mouthfeel, thick, sweet, with a good combination of malt, liquorice, roasted malts, nuts; more sweet than roasted. Excellent.
