Dec 6, 2007 Nearly foamed over after uncapping despite being well-chilled, poured a frothy cocoa-tinted massive head over near opaque body with rusty highlights. On the nose a pleasant mix of fruity wheat cherries and musty caramel, hinted oakiness; a deliciously smooth melange on the palate, starting off full bodied with cocoa, dark berries, flowing nicely into tobacco and wooden, tingly hops. A delicious winter beer, and another impressive release from Nøgne.

Oct 29, 2009 500 ml bottle, bought in Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam.
Deepdeep brown body with a fantastic creamy and foamy head. Pleasant aroma with dark chocolate, cocoa, deep roasted malt and toasted caramel, some vanilla. Fine mouthfeel, oily texture. Interesting and rich flavor of roasted grains, bit of chocolate and tobacco, some coffee and toffee, nice fruity tastes like raisins and plum. Plus a freaky hop character. Sweet liqueric and roasted aftertaste. Exciting one!

Dec 31, 2008 Bottle into chalice. Pours a deep, opaque black, with a beautiful fluffy tan head that settles into a cap that never goes away. Nose is interesting - brown sugar and a bit of caramel, just a bit roasty, hints of cocoa and some spicy alcohol in there also. Taste is sweet, with caramel and brown sugar mixing it up with roasty malt, hints of coffee, and a bit of soy. Tons of really nice, smooth ultra-dark cocoa in there also towards the finish, which is light and roasty, but somewhat long, and with the cocoa still lingering as well. Mouthfeel is really well done also, creamy and plush. I would easily drink this again. And again.

Apr 19, 2008 Head is creamy and beige. Color is very dark brown, almost black. Aromas are salty liquorice, roasted malts, lots of hops. Roasty malty flavor with chokolate, liquorice and nicely hoppy. Alcohol can be felt but it doesn’t taste at all. Full-bodied, smooth and sticky palate.
