A pitch black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of chocolate, but also with light notes of coffee. The flavor is dry roasted - as dry as licking on a piece of wood, though a chocolate covere piece of wood, since it also has some chocolate notes. I find it a bit too dry - but still drinkable.

(Bottle 65 cl) Pours completely black and opaque with a dense, handsome, light brown head. Burned, malty aroma. Solid body, lightly vinous with accents of very hard roasted, coffeeish malt and a burned edge. Some alcohol and some aroma hops shine through. Extremely dry, burned finish. 070606 and 070907

Bottled. Very black, brown head. Intensely roasty with some licorice up front. Dry and richly malty and full flavoured with clean mouthfeel. Strikingly hoppy, some citrus. Very bitter, resiny finish.

Mocha black; stiff coffee vs. dark fruit intertia; flavour elements include citric hops, black pears (if they existed, that is), balanced black maltiness, dry hoppiness, raisin, plum. Strong but quite drinkable.
