wyzzywyz22 (294), Wirral, Merseyside, England Jun 26, 2008 Bottle, Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Poured a reaperish black. Disappearing dark biege head. Like a glass of tar. Roasted malt, chocolate, dark fruit and coffee aroma. Flavour was packed with more of the same. Some sweetness. Very rich yet soft and tidily balanced. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
cgarvieuk (2302), Edinburgh, Scotland Aug 14, 2008 Bottle at home .. deep solid black ... deep roast coffee malt with just a hint of hops nose ... deep malts prunes and chocolate but its just a bit rough round the edges. Bov (4604), Bienne, Switzerland Aug 14, 2008 courtesy of Toni Flükiger - dark black coloured with a little but persistent dark beige foam; roasted aroma of black chocolate, prunes and caramel; full-bodied and oily, very sweet and with a low bitterness; very long sweet chocolatey finish with notes of alcohol and prunes - very good but too much on the dark side of sweetness to my liking KimJohansen (3026), Copenhagen V, Denmark Aug 7, 2008 Black with tiny off white head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, overripe fruits, caramel and chocolate notes. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, dryed fruits, caramel, chocolate and warming alcohol in the end. weaselkenievil (295), Cheshire, England Jul 13, 2008 Bottle drank in pitch black darkness sat outside my house so no idea on appearance I’m afraid. Dark fruit, prunes, raisins, roasted malt, liqourice (which I don’t like but this still flew my kite). Very drinkable. The kind of beer I would imagine would accompany a good pillaging. Made me feel like medievalkenievil. MiP (4927), Flensburg, Germany Jul 6, 2008 Bottle at ÅBF08. Good roasted sweet flavour. Nice imperial stout. Good sweet alcohol flavour. Very nice. Creamy mouthfeel. Alcohol aftertaste. Very good.
