Bottle 35,5cl. Pitch black with a huge brown steady head leaving some laces. Nice lumps of floating yeast. Very sweet nose with clear traces of alcohol. Complex, sweet and fat body with alcohol as the dominating participant. Sweet "burning" finish. Nice one, but one is enough for me.

My dad liked this, gave it a 4. For me, it was decent but the main problem was the aftertaste, it was dry like a wine. The aroma was nice, roasted malt, roasted chocolate, burnt toast and roasted barely. A roasty beer. Appearance is great, black but with a rim of brown when held to light.

Bottle into chalice. Pours rich, dark brown with a two finger, creamy tan head. Nose is chocolate and raisins, a bit of earthy peat and tobacco. Taste starts off with a dose of crisp carbonation - earthy, smoky roasted malt, mild alcohol bite and just a hint of coffee, with smoky peat notes rising up and pairing with a hint of dark fruit, before finishing with a dry, smoky, earthy, roasty finish that has just a hint of floral hops and is absolutely magnificent. Mouthfeel is creamy and full, with crisp carbonation. Spectacular beer.

Bottled. Deep dark brown color, pours a huge frothy head. Malt and cardemom in the aroma. Malty flavor with roast, licorice, cardemom, cinnamon and earthy flowery hops. Alcoholic with a long lasting earthy bitter aftertaste with licorice.

Aromes are sweet raisins, tobacco, chocolate, and liquorice. Thick mouth feel. Flavors of sherry or port, chocolate covered cherries, stone fruit, and a bit of hop bite to hold ot all together. great beer.
