A hazy deep red beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted malty with quite a lot of hops, giving it a light citrusy note. The flavor is sweet malty and both light notes of roasted malt and chocolate.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours completely dark and opaque with a dense, creamy, beige head leaving some lacework. Hoppy aroma with lightly burned malts. Medium-bodied with sweetish notes of roasted malt and a lightly burned, coffeeish edge. Very soft mouthfeel. 291206

Bottled, thanks JCW! Near black, rich head. Vinous fruity coffee aroma. Sweet and malty, very roasty with rounded mouthfeel. Theres lots of licorice as well as hints of soy sauce and chocolate. Rather bitter finish. Complex and intense, very enjoyable!

Bottled, thanks heemer77. Dark brownish ruby colour, mediumsized brown foamish bubbly head. Mainly roasted malts in aroma, same in flavour. So why is this an ale? It could as well be a porter, as I have had stuff called porter which has been crappier than this. A bit to the waterier side as for the palate, but flavour is wellfilled with roasted malts, old coffee and more roast.

(12oz bottle) Large tan head atop a clear brown-black body. Aroma is medium sweet, coffee/roast, some chocolate, light cherry, smoke. Taste is medium sweet, rich coffee, chocolate, roast, some grapefruit, smoke, nut, cream, light rye, cherry. Creamy medium-full body, very smooth. Not sure why it isn’t considered a stout.

Bottled
Almost opaque black/brown, good creamy brown head. Toasty aroma of roasted bread. Porter-like roasted, cold coffee flavor. Sweetness and light hops in the finish, coffee in the aftertaste. Alcohol is quite hidden. Some smoked/tobacco notes but not much rye found.
