Bottle, at the Rover, Gothenburg. (2006 vintage, 10%) Served in a Triple Karmeliet glass, which proved to be a nice choice from the barman. There’s just nothing to complain about regarding the appearance of the beer. It’s jet black, with a creamy, tan head. The aroma is smooth as hell, with lots of mocha doing a good deal of the job, but has company of a sweetish vanilla and marzipan scent. The alcohol can be detected, but is very weak. In the mouth, it’s very sweet in a good way, with flavors of mocha, some vanilla and a hint of alcohol and dried fruits. It’s very low on bitterness, and also on hops, but it’s just delightful. Sort of leaves me lost for words. (080710)

Bottle (RBESG 08): Pitch black with a small beige head; turpentine, vanilla, toasted malt and wood in the nose; very full bitter-sweet flavour, full bodied, creamy MF; long, long, long finish: chocolate, cacao and so on. Great, great stuff...............

0.25 l bottle (2006 vintage) at SOPP2008, Helsinki. Pitch black color with small creamy tan head. Sweet aroma with plenty and vanilla and whisky, coffee and chocolate is more on the background. Rich flavor with bourbon, vanilla, coffee, chocolate, salty licorice and sherry. Very warming and a bit sharp palate. Excellent dessert but I prefer the ordinary stormakts porter as this is slightly too whiskyish.

(6/29/08) Bottle sample at RBESG08 grand tasting in Plzen. Black-colored with a brown head. Aroma of roasted to burnt malt, some sweet chocolate notes, cocoa and some coffee. Quite dry roasted-burnt flavor of malt, cocoa and a bit of dark fruitiness. Full-bodied. Looking forward to try a more proper sample of this from the bottle in my cellar.

(2006 bottle at SOPP) Black. Medium-sized bubbly brown head. Nose has got liquorice and chocolate. Full and bit oily palate with little carbonation. Liquorice, chocolate, coffee, sweetness, Finnish Easter pudding, vanilla and whiskey in taste. Long lasting aftertaste. Simply fantastic.

2006 bottle from cgarvieuk. 200th overall rating for the beer. Pours dark roast coffee black, with an oily looking texture, and what little head that could be conjured up was brown with a reddish tint. Deep rich aroma, of oak, bourbon, wet tobacco, asphalt, coffee, and charred marshmallow. The flavor comes over like an alcoholic cafe mocha. Pretty nice. On top of that I get some anise, bourbon, oak, vanilla, and lingering bitterness and alcohol. The mouthfeel and body are substantial, but not overwhelming. Oily and mouth filling. Long dry gritty finish. Believe the hype.

Bottle, 2006. Black colour with a small brown head. Oak, whisky and coffee aroma. The flavour is whisky, roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and some tar. Full-bodied and smooth mouthfeel with a nice warming finish. Fantastic beer!
