The aroma smells of dark roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate and liquorice. The flavour is bitter and tastes of roasted malts and juniper. It has a short aftertaste.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jul 19, 2008 The aroma is faintly smoky, tobacco-laced with licorice, soy and chocolate thrown in for good measure. Apparently we are measuring something awful. The flavor is muted, tired and stale malts with dried tobacco, chocolate, coffee and soy. Not so yummy this one. MiP (9159), Sønderborg, Denmark

Almost black colour, very small light brown head. Some aroma hops. Very roasted flavour, barley bitterness, but not overdone. Very thin body, but the flavour is powerful.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 6, 2008 bottled. A pitch black beer with a dark brown shine. The aroma is sweet with notes of soy sauce, chocolate, and roasted malt, as well as hints of oxidation. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt, making it rather dry, as well as notes of bitter chocolate, leading to a dry rather bitter and rather roasted finish. thebeertourist (2822), Oslo, Norway

Intense coffee and chocolate aroma. Milder flavours, more vanilla, still coffee and chocolate in the lead, mild roast, a bit milky. Silky texture, rather flat. Very satisfying.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 18, 2008 Bottle courtesy Joey Joseph JM Redner Jr. Something like that. Dark brown, black edges. Tan head, about 1.5 fingers thick with no retention and spotty drip lacing. Nose of roasted beans, malts, coffee and chocolate. Smells old, but I know it’s not. Just doesn’t have any authority in the nose, or the flavor for that matter. Medium bodied, a bit weak in that department as well. Finish is medium length, some tobacco and astringency, fading into weak stale coffee. Decent.
