| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 6, 2008 375ml bottle. pours dark brown with not much of a head. a nice chocolatey, espresso, and alcohol nose. flavor is dang there’s a ton of alcohol here, it’s sharp, biting, and pickly all over the palate, besides the very hot hot alcohol notes there’s some espresso in the finish. i doubt the alcohol will ever mellow but 5-10 years probably couldn’t this beer.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Apr 9, 2008 Pour is opaque black with a thin sticky and dense brown head...it definitely has legs...smell is sweet alcohol with undertones of chocolate...wow...what a thick and syrupy but not sweet mouthfeel!!!! The dominant flavor is sweetness/alcohol, with a roasty chocolate backbone...for it to be this high in alcohol blows my mind a little bit...I am not amused that I have to go back 30 miles away and buy more bottles, but I suppose I must...

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 21, 2008 0.375 l bottle. Pitch black with small brown head. Sweet very burnt aroma with notes of charcoal, rum, licorice, soya sauce, alcohol and solvent. Thick bittersweet flavor infused with charcoal , dark sugar, rum and burning alcohol. Hard to drink, hard to rate. To my mind, this kind of beers should be aged at least a year. bluevegie (2217), Perth, Australia
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 23, 2009 Black in body with tan coloured head and alcoholic legs. Huge aroma of alcohol then dried fruit then loads of sugar. Taste was a touch hot at first, dried fruit again and sugar, not too complex, drank ok - slowly. johndoughty (2168), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Dec 8, 2008 What a strange name for a very individual beer.Black and very flat with as you would expect a strong presence of alcohol. Roasted sherry like flavours dominate. Drunk on a cold winters night
and reached the spots other beers could not come near. blutt59 (2167), Dallas, Texas, USA
