(Draught at Olympen, Oslo, 6 Nov 2009) Black colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, espresso, dark bread, cocoa and raisins. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, cocoa, black coffee, dark fruit and a generous cocoa bitterness in the finish. Slightly vinous with a certain alcohol bite. Some wheaty sourness lurks in the background. Full body, balanced sweetness. Complex beer. Very nice!

Dec 19, 2009 Close to black with a small light brown head. Aroma is fruity with light roasted notes of coffe and chocolate. Flavour is very fruity, "bright" and yeasty with very mellow acidic roasted notes. Has a good bitterness and roasted kick in the finish with lingering fruit notes. Rather mellow and uncomplicated.
