Draught@Københavnske Øldage. Very intense stuff. Black in colour. Aroma is intensley hoppy. So much so there was little roasted malt to detect in the aroma as the hops dominated. Likewise for the palate, lots of grapefruit, piney hop characters, both sweet and bitter. The roasted malt characters seem to take a back seat here. Some alcohol noticed in the finish, but hey its a strong beer so i was expecting that. Would love to try this one again in the future. This was a little bit too much for me if i’m honest.

Almost perfcet malty and hoppy aroma. taste is loaded with chocolate, licorice and especially vanilla. Power power power. Long perfect finish. Great creamy palate.

May 12, 2008 [2 years vintage - To celebrate my 1800th rating – Thanks a million yespr for making this happen!] Black with medium brown head. Sweet vinious aroma with notes of roasted malt, hops, whiskey, dark bitter chocolate and coffee. Sweet and hoppy flavor with whiskey, hard roasted malt, dark chocolate and coffee notes. Huge complexity and very well balanced. Ends with solid bitterness and warming alcohol.

May 2, 2008 33 cL bottle, huge thanks for this to Jeppe and Mikkel - I sure dont mind sharing beers with you guys when this is what you got the opportunity to acquire in return - thanks! Pours totally black with a little dense tan head. Aroma is smooth chocolate, coffe and hard roasted malt, all lifted by a dense alcohol aroma. The alcohol is slight burning in the eyes. Flavour is smooth chocolate and dense coffee with a solid alcohol note. Nice lingering roasted note. Surprisingly still sweet flavoured too. Warming finish and a dense chocolate and coffee flavour keep lasting far into the finish.
