Apr 13, 2008 Very dark brown beer with a huge, lasting tan head. Rich and complex aroma of licorice, munich malt, dried fruit. As the head falls down, smoke shows up, a touch of rauchbier bacon, with tar and licorice. Flavour is relatively sweet, complex and unusual. All the best notes of a good dark barleywine, with a little smoke character added. It’s bordering on cloying sweet, but it ends on a dry note with lingering tar and licorice. I don’t think I could drink a pint of this, but I could definitely drink it often.

Apr 8, 2008 Bottle. Heavy malt smells of toasted, roasted and molasses, moderate resin for the hops and earth for the yeast, with smoke, toffee, brown sugar, alcohol and a vinous note in the background. Head is huge, rocky, light brown, with fair lacing and is fully lasting. Color is dark brown. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then the long finish is lightly sweet and moderately acidic and bitter. Palate is medium to full, between creamy and syrupy and has a lively carbonation. Packed full of quality aromas and flavors, this is one righteous beer. Take your time with this one.

Apr 4, 2008 Bottle. Small but lasting creamy off-white head. Pitch black body. Spicy hoppy coffee choccolate hops aroma. Flavor relatively carbonated and more choccolate than coffee. Hops and alcohol present in a good mixture. Would not have guessed on 10%. Long bitter aftertaste.
