Big brown lasting head. Black body, barely dark red at edges. Sweetish rich roasty caramely and licorice taste, very rounded and harmonic. Sweet, yet faintly acidic, roasty licorice and caramel taste with wooden notes. Some alcohol heat and even burn. A bit salty. Very harmonic. Nice, and a bit understated, surprsingly. (0.33l bottle from Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)

Black as coal with a rich thick beige head. Roasted coffee, milk chocolate, blue plums, cherries with a small alcoholic bite in the aroma. Roasky and slightly burnt flavour of roasted coffee, cherries and glue. Creamy and soft mothfeel. Long roasty and coffee bitter finish. Cozy and warming beer.

Nice stout. Very black pour with a brown head. Aroma is super chocolatey and dark dried fruits as well. Flavor is full of chocolate and moderately sweet. Some molasses on the tongue too. A slight hint of bitterness if very nice.

Pours a deep black color with a thick, dense, creamy light brown head. Nice aroma and flavor of fruits, roasted malt and chocolate with a bitter finish. Dry texture, soft carbonation.

Bottle. Coffee and dark chocolate aroma. Opaque black-brown color with slight head. Cappuccino and smoky malt flavor. Very nice flavor but just a bit on the lighter side
