Mar 20, 2007 [Bottle - a couple of month past its BB date] Almost black, thin head, moderate carbonation. A bit of coffee and chocolate in flavour and aroma, but less than expected: there is some caramel but above all a strong liquorice flavour. Bitter liquor, rum. Quite intense flavour for its strength, but not quite easy to drink.

Oct 4, 2004 Pretty damn black.
Interesting and intriguing nose. Whiffs of apple cider, caramel and milk chocolate.
Non aggresive and certainly not offensive but there isn’t much going on here. Front is mainly sweet and soft with some diverse earthy tones. Mid is lightly roasted coffee, some light dark fruitiness and milk chocolate. Finish has a hint of pepper, notes of grapes and a lingering dry, nutty and chocolatey presense on the palate.

Mar 20, 2007 Aroma is smokey meat, fried potatos with egg and dog breath. Taste is chestnuts, very nutty and sweet roasted beef, roasty finish. Interesting beer forsure.

Sep 1, 2007 A Mes rate:
50cl bottle from Kris Wines. Black/brown with a swifly dissipating tan head that settles to a bubbly film. Caramel malt aroma with a bit of vanilla and chocolate. Decent chocolate malt flavour that is let down by obvious cardboard and metallic notes. Was much worse when first opened, but now it has had time to settle it’s mellowed to something drinkable and quite enjoyable. Bitter chocolate finish with some very slight hops showing. Nice creamy mouthfeel which is almost worth a ’4’.

Nov 20, 2009 275ml botle. Poured a very dark colour with a small off white head. Strong aroma of roasted malt, withsome chocolate & coffee. Reasonably bitter in the mouth with both liqourice and coffee to the fore. Very palatable.

Apr 23, 2009 Bottle. Brown with a tan head. Malty with hints of smoke. Licorice, vanilla, with hints of wet paper a bit oxidized one might say oh well.
