| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Nov 3, 2006 Updated: Nov 5, 2006Rating 600. Bottle #9/100. Pours jet f****ng black. No head. Smells of smoked vanilla and coffee. First sip was a great surprise of a thousand falvors. Perfect balance of tar, vanilla, leather, chocolate, coffee, and hops. Totally flat. When I opened the bottle I thought I got a bad (flat) bottle but I didn´t miss the carbonation one bit. Very well hidden alcohol... I hardly believed the "12.5%" on the bottle. Vanilla finish with coffee and a hint of wine. Thanks. Brew more, please. rudolf (1787), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 3/5 | 5/20 | Jul 6, 2008 Well, its black with a big tan head. Nose is cocoa, burnt malt, tons and tons of alcohol, leading to astringency. Dark fruits are there but hard to find past the smell of my nose hair burning. Flavor is all about alcohol - way too much. There are cherries & cocoa in there but mostly its burnt alcohol. Super astringent, overly bitter finish. Enjoyit (1783), Vadum, Denmark

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 19, 2007 12.7 ounce bottle from MrBendo
Pitch black pour with a dark brown head.
The aroma is mostly coffee, but it seems to be blended with a decent amount of hops. There’s a bit of a woody note. The roast background in light but noticeable.
Very power full flavors here. Coffee, roast, and some hops. Kind of a vanilla or marshmallow thing going on. Alcoholic finish.
Pretty thin. Dancing carbonation. Dry roasted and alcholic finish.
The flavor is really nice, right up to the point where the alcohol attacks. That, and the thin body are the major turn offs for me. ryan (1781), Beltsville, Maryland, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours black with a chocolate brown head. Probably the darkest head I’ve seen. Aroma of both sweet and roasted malt, with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and fruit. Full bodied. The flavor isn’t bad, but the alcohol is just a bit to noticeable. Primary notes are roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, fruit, and some bitter hops that reveal themselves in the finish. But again, the alcohol just smacks you right in the face, lessening the impact of the other flavors. This isn’t a bad beer by any means, but I think it would be much better if it was more in the 9-10% ABV range. tarjei (1762), Bryne, Norway
