Jan 10, 2009 Black color; thin creamy head. It’s a monodimensional chocolate beer, with a mild aroma and a more defined taste; but it’s well brewed, the mouthfeel is smooth, creamy, and the chocolate is mild, never too roasted; well balanced. There may be a hint of vanilla aroma and leather flavor. Good.

Jan 4, 2009 Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. Dark mahagony color. Sweetish aroma with bread, chocolate and plums. Bready and choclatey flavor with dark fruits. Perhaps needs more aging. Now this is a bit raw and out of balance.

Dec 30, 2008 50 cL bottle. Pours dark, dense brown with a vague redish glare and a slowly collapsing tan head. Roasted malt aroma, light breadish and vague fruity. Roasted malt flavoured with a mild chocolate smoothness and a vague metallic note. Fruity and bitter before the finish. Vague smoke note. Smooth malty flavour into the finish with a reemerging bitterness.

Very dark, small head.
Complex beer. Lots of dark fruit, dry chocolate, a hint of smoke. Lovely for slow sipping, a real winner.

Dec 26, 2008 Pours a dark brown / almost black color with a large white foamy head.
Aroma of coffee, dark chocolate, dried fruits, some burnt notes, a light smokiness, spruce needles (or well, something like that).
Flavour is quite dominated by the malt but on the other hand not that sweet. A lot of roasted coffee, chocolate, some burnt notes and a light smokiness here too. Liquorice, a bit of fruitiness, spruce needles. Not too sweet, not too bitter. Slightly dry. Balanced and nice, but not overwhelming.
Smooth and filling on the palate. Mediumbodied, low carbonation.
A good and drinkable Christmas beer from Nils Oscar. I like it!
