| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 28, 2008 Poured deep black with a two finger head that dissipated to a strong film and left great lacing. Complex aroma profile included coffee, chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, and molasses. Flavor was just as complex, starting out though a bit more subtle, but strengthening with time. Full body, some carbonation, rich sweetish coffe and chocolate aftertaste. A real treat. odgaard (254), Skyum, Thisted, Denmark
