Brown colour with light tan head.
Elegant, almost subtle cocoa and coffee aroma. Fluffy mouthfeel, with subtle, bit grainy flavours from milk chocolate, cocoa and tad vanilla. Pretty light in body and overall feel. Really elegant beer with small nuances. Low bitterness.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 12, 2009 Bottle at Nya Tröls, Malmö Brown color; small head. The aroma is chocolatey and coffeish. The mouthfeel is quite weak, with very light sourness, and this is a pity, because the flavor is not bad, with a very pleasant chocolate; very light vanilla too; as the body is weak, the final is a bit short. Good, but it could be better with some more body. voota (765), Melbourne, Australia
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 11, 2009 Murky almost brown with a small tan head. Strong mocha aroma, tons of vanilla and rum, ripe plumb and a hint of vegemite...
Palate is smooth at first, but when the sweetness dissipates, it becomes almost harsh coffee and leaves some dry cocoa feel. Similarly, the flavours start with a sweet chocolate/rum/dark fruit and finish more towards the coffee vegemite thing. Wonderfully complex and drinkable. Ungstrup (15380), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Dec 7, 2009 Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of malt, over ripe fruits, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, alcohol, and metal as well as light notes of milkchocolate. A bit too simple for my taste - more like a Barley Wine than a chocolate porter. yespr (12404), Copenhagen O, Denmark

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 17, 2009 Bottle. Black with small crema head. Caramel malt, coffee, cocoa and heaps of vanilla on the nose. The chocolate is pronounced and quite bitter and separate from the malt sweetness. Surprisingly savoury - it really could work with a pie.
