Aug 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours a thick black with a very this tan head. Aroma is strong with coffe, burnt malts, and alcohol. Notes of dark chocolate and sweet fruits come out as well. On the palate, it is intense. There is a warm alcohol burn. The flavor brings out the maltiness at first, but it gives way to chocolate, and finially, more alcohol. Very strong beer, a little overpowering, but I enjoyed it.

Holy shit this is a strong beer. No joke here, this one is serious. Aggressive, mean, and will
propbably hurt your feelings. Strong aromas of burnt malt, coffee, and alcohol. Hard hitting flavor that slams you with chocolate, malts, and coffee
with a bit of sweet fruits in there as well. Medium body and moderate to heavy bitter finish. Overpowering and in no way balanced. Alcohol really comes out as it warms. I’m glad I split half of the bottle. This is not the most drinkable thing in the world...but kind of intriguing. Probably would have completely kicked ass at half the ABV. I would like to try this again though.

Aug 4, 2009 I really wanted to enjoy this beer, but the flavor is a bit too sweet for my liking. Served cold from bottle. Pours black with a tiny tan-colored head. Aroma of dark roast and coffee. Flavor was coffee, chocolate and soy sauce. Thin and dry. Like I said, I wanted to enjoy it, but was left underwhelmed.

Aug 3, 2009 bottle as a bonus thanks to GMCC2181. poured black with a tan head that left some spotted lacing and had some decent legs as well. aroma of caramel, dark roast, coffee, honey, and licourice. flavor followed the nose as well. had a nice slick body with no carbonation. a solid brew but i guess i was expecting more. it just didnt wow me.

Aug 3, 2009 Pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, and notes of flowers. Flavour is roasted barley, coffee, chocolate, liquorish, some blackberry, and a very dominating alcohol.

Aug 1, 2009 Pours from the bottle completely flat, absolutely no head whatsoever. Smells like tootsie rolls and coffee, I wouldn’t call it pleasant, it actually kind of make my stomach turn, alcohol is heavy on the nose. Consistency of hot bottled water and soy sauce. Tastes like soy sauce and semi-sweet chocolate. Possibly better with carbonation or age, but right now, its pretty bad, almost undrinkable, which is sad because I’m normally a huge stout fan.

Jul 29, 2009 Bottle shared by Leems. Pours black as the depths of hell with a moderate brown head. Aroma is a nice roastiness filled out by coffee and booze with some light chocolate. Flavor is much the same, it’s decently boozy and the roasted malts and coffee flavor really balance each other out. Very pleasing brew, I like what I’ve been having from Mikkeller.

Jul 27, 2009 Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a rich black with tan/chocolate head. Aroma of obvious alcohol with strong dark roast and strong coffee. Flavor of rich dark roast, coffee, is sweet, alcohol. Mouth feel is heavy body, low carbonation. Overall, It is a sipper, it’s tasty, but something about this one just didn’t strike me as GREAT....would make a very good winter brew though....but overall, just didn’t do it for me....
