Bottle from Keg Liqour. Poured black color with a moderate to large frothy brown head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Heavy toasted dark chocolate and sweet fruit with a small alcohol aroma. Full body with a creamy texture. Heavy sweet chocolate malt flavor with a heavy bittersweet finish of long duration. This is a heavy standout beer.

The first time I sampled this, I was drunk so I didn’t rate it. The second time I sampled this, I wish I had been drunk so I didn’t remember it. I am fairly confident we’re supposed to believe that Chinese character stands for ’black’ or whatever, but it kind of looks like a monster. An evil, sinister monster that would trick you into drinking soy sauce-infused nail polish remover and then post pictures of you all over the Internet. The beer is an implied ulcer.

PIB 2008. Over the top imperial stout... drool. Intense flavors of every sort, chocolate covered cherry, dark chocolate, molasses, rum, coffee, flavor and flavor. I can see some peoples point, it is over the top, but I’d be lying to say I didn’t enjoy every drop.

Poured at Portland International Beerfest--A dark black abysmal opaque beer with a small tan head. Rich, roasted malt bomb with a multiplicity of complexities. In your face but not over doing it if this is possible. Quite bitter, sweet, fruity, and WOW!

Bottle @ DTS. Roasted malt, varnish and salt in the aroma. Sugary sweet flavor, varnish, roastbitter and caramel. The alcohol is reasonably well hidden, but a lot of force is used to hide it. Not a trace of any balance. This is really too much!

Dutch tasting session Bunnik. Bottled. Opaque black. Earthy and malty aroma. Extremely bitter flavour. Pretty extreme. I can’t drink a whole lot of this, but when limiting yourself to a few sips it could certainly be interesting.

Bottle@DTS. Aroma of veggies, terpentine and coffee. Black color, brown head, good lace. Espresso extract, loads of alcohol, very bitter, very sweet. Thick and dry fiish. Over the hill, exploding, couldn’t take and swallow more than maybe 5 sips. Too much.

Bottle, 17.5%. Vinous sweet liquorice aroma, burning my eyes slightly. Black colour. Big stable brown head. Very thick mouthfeel, must be because of the intense sweetness. Very sugary with intensely rough campari-like bitterness. I think there is some aroma hops, but it is hard to be sure. Well, this beer is certainly interesting, but is it good? I do not know, but I do not think I will beer drinking more of it soon. Tried to drink the rest of the bottle mixed with some Helles, but it just will not do. I guess I should rate this high or low, but it will be in the middle.
