Oct 27, 2009 37,5cl. BBE 14/08/11, had this for a year. Pitch black, tiny coarse and disappearing tanned head. Nose is soy sauce, ammonium salmiak, little booze, huge amount of soy. Flavor is molasses, licorice, burned malts, coffee beans and soy sauce, a bit mentholey Super salmiakki finish. Medium bodied, low carbonation, surprisingly light palate. At least this bottle was a lot less in balance than the Black. Should really try again.

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.

Dec 22, 2007 Bottlle. Black body, dark tan head, coffee and chocolate in the nose. Very bitter, alcoholic, severely overrated.

Apr 10, 2009 12.7oz bottle - traded for in November 2007: Coal black pour with a thin beige head. Intense aroma of vanilla bean, sweet fudge, brownie, bourbony plums. A slight oxidized note rides on top - adding to the mix actually. Thick, chewy body. Wow - the high ABV hits the stomach before anything else. Tongue numbing in fact. A nice layer of bitter coffee, sweet fudge and vanilla bean lays beneath in a nice balance. Hmm, interesting and heavy hitting but not as complex as I would have expected. Still, very good.

Jan 17, 2008 Flaske. Fantastisk duft på en kulsort øl med et fint lille skumhoved. Duften er en smule frugtagtig med en god del lakrids. Smagen er ekstrem. Meget brændt en del vanillie der evt. ville stå godt med en fadlagring? (Bare en ide) lidt chokolade. Eneste minus er at alkoholen slår for meget igennem, hvilket trækker 0,2-0,3 ned i min bog. Ellers taler tallene vidst for sig selv.

Feb 7, 2008 Updated: Feb 16, 2008Took the family to the Habachi for some family fun and busted this out. Black with no head. Roasted malt, chocolate, light dark fruits, and wine are the aroma and taste. Light coffee and sour wine notes show throughout in this beer. The first IM Stout my wife actually liked!! Great!! Now, when I buy it I’ll hide it so she doesn’t drink it all the hell up.

Nov 7, 2007 12.7oz bottle from Capone’s (Norristown, PA). synthetic cork marked 14/08/11. Poured very deep brown, capped with a moderate sized dark tan head that diminished quickly. Rich, roasted coffee aroma, with bittersweet chocolate, malt, and green chili pepper. Big roasted malt and espresso flavor, with accents of molasses, pepper, vanilla and dark chocolate. Oily, citric hop finish. Interesting beer.
