bierkoning (5128), La Tropica, Netherlands Jan 6, 2009 Bottle from Tbone, thanks! Deep dark brown color. Apple syrup and tar in the aroma. Sweet alcoholic flavor. Thin. Lots of laurel and even a hint of smoke and licorice. Some bitterness in the aftertaste. A most peculiar beer. JK54B (501), Finland Dec 31, 2008 A bottle from local K-Supermarket. Pale fast disappearing head. Hazy dark reddish black colour. Mild malty nose. Mild taste. Mild hoppiness. tlind2 (376), Helsinki, Finland Dec 30, 2008 330 ml bottle. Very dark brown color, tan head that didn’t last. Roasted malt aroma with some dark fruit and herbal hops. Syrupy malt flavor with hoppy notes. Medium-full body, medium carbonation. It’s ok. mikkopen (161), Oulu, Finland Dec 1, 2008 330 ml bottle. Deep dark brown, nearly black, tiny light brown head. Mildly roasted malty aroma. The flavour is roasted, rather dry, with a hint of hoppy bitterness in the finish. A bit thin and lame. Kavu (80), Jyväskylä, Finland Nov 26, 2008 Dark amber color, almost black. Nonexistent light brown head. Aroma has some yeast and malt. Quite little flavor, but a bitter finish with some hops. Mouthfeel is a bit too sparkly for me.
