Feb 8, 2009 Tasting @ argo0’s place. 375ml bottle, cork marked 12/12/17. Courtesy of acrdz. Jet black pour with a ringed brown head. Awesome nose - chocolate liquor, roasty malts, rich. Flavor is... AWFUL. Way, WAY too hot and boozy, tar and dark fruit over bitter coffee. I guess, according to the commercial description, I’m a sissy, but I like drinkable beer. Will age help? I can’t imagine, but who knows... there is lots going on in this beer, but it’s obliterated.

Feb 7, 2009 Bottle at decaturstevo’s Februmergency Tasting for those of us that missed out on Sexual Chocolate ’09. Thanks to lithy for getting us all fucked up! Pours a near black with the smallest ring of brown head. Great aroma of milk chocolate, roast, expresso, sweet vanilla, and some alcohol. However, the alcohol on the aroma is nothing compared the amount on the flavor, as well as anise, bourbon, and roasty chocolate. Very cool deliver of such a high amount of alcohol. Best mikkeller beer I’ve had.

Feb 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with a dark brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark bitter chocolate, coffee, licorice, dark fruit and alcohol. The flavour is roasted malt, dark chocolate, sugar, coffee, licorice, dark fruit and alcohol. This is a huge beer, the mouthfeel is extremely oily and a very long harsh, bitter finish. It’s quite rough now but surely would cellar nicely. Will come back for more in a few years.

Feb 7, 2009 375ml Bottle (Thanks Svesse) - Black in colour with a tan head. Rich chocolatey aroma with molasses, chocolate and some hoppy hints. The taste is rich, bitter and warming. Chocolate, molasses and coffee feature in the taste. It’s incredibly rich and definitely one to sip slowly. Not bad but I still think it’s a bit of a gimmick.

Feb 4, 2009 Bottle. Poured black with no head. strong smell of alcohol. The flavor was sharp with a tangy aftertaste. Too thick. Probably wouldn’t have this again

Jan 28, 2009 Bottle Pours out ink black topped with a small brown head. Aroma of tons of dark roast and some sweetness (pit fruit and molassses). Tast was of smoke, molasses and some pit fruit. Still pretty hot maybe stash it away for a while to help mellow.

Jan 24, 2009 Bottle: Aroma is dark, boozy, a lot like WWS. Mostly whisky and molasses in the aroma. Flavor is not unpleasant as the aroma suggests. There is a definite alcoholic burn at the finish but I had worse. Taste is heavy roast, sweet, and some vinous notes in there. Alcohol is not that apparent until it hits the throat. Mouthfeel is like syrup, no carbonation. OK, I’m going to watch a movie and enjoy this one over the next two hours.
