Nov 3, 2008 500. Thanks, Maria! Jet black with dense, creamy burnt tan head. Big coffee nose, even gets a little acidically sour. Creamy medium body with soft woolly carb. Sweet chocolate and coffee mid-palate, long coffee finish.

Oct 26, 2008 500ml bottle. Deep black with a creamy but small brown head. Hugely rich chocolate candy and rich creamy chocolate syrup in the nose... the rich dark chocolate character is full bodies, slick, mellow, and very smooth and creamy. Well attenuated, rich and delectable. Better than expected.

Oct 18, 2008 Bottle. Pitch black with a foamy and dense cappuccino coloured head. The aroma is sweet and roasted. Like a cup of coffee with to much sugar in it and some dark chocolate on the top.. The flavour is rich and malty with notes of licorice, dark chocolate, and coffee. The taste is ended by a nice bitter roasted finish. Texture is a little sticky but it is overall a very well made beer.

Sep 28, 2008 500ml bottle (Fish and Beer, Copenhagen)
Jet black, glassy, absolutely no head (lid came off remarkably easily, perhaps the cap had failed somehow?). Initial aroma was briefly great - nice sharp aromatic hops. That quickly disappears and is replaced by a sweet milky chocolate mousse. Sticky, almost slimy, palate makes it almost feel flat, but there is some crisp carbonation too. Very dessert-like taste in the mouth. Chocolate fudge pie with vanilla sauce. On swallowing there’s a touch of alcohol and some gingeriness, and then the hops that I smelt initially. Each of the components isn’t that amazing, pretty solid though, but the whole combination works very well together, so the overall gets a strong thumbs up from me. Very close to being outstanding. May have had a dodgy bottle, and would happily rerate.
