Nov 30, 2003 The aroma is fantastic; sweet with strong notes of coffee and dark chocolate. The color is pithch black and it has a fantastic dark brown head. The flavor is fantastic too; starting out very sweet before the complexity hits You with notes of sweet black chocolate, licorice, and hints of coffee. The sweet start is soon taken over by more powerful stout notes of roasted malts, tar, wood, bitter chocolate, and bitter hops. Even with the roasted malts and the bitter hops the mouthfeel is still very smooth. But the bitter and roasted/burnt flavors lingers on Your tongue for a long time after taking a sip. It is so strong, that it warms my ears - a great winter beer. This is one of the very best beers I've ever had. Thanks a million to Alex (fiulijn) for trading this one with me.

Feb 4, 2002 Black coloured with a rich brownish head. Loads of salty liquorice in the aroma. Chocolate flavour. Ful bodied, so full bodied that you don’t think about the high alcohol contents. Aromatic hop aroma, salty finish. This is indeed a very good beer, but to give it an even higher rating I’d like to see even more malt, and perhaps a tad fruitiness.

Jun 3, 2006 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours completely black and opaque with a small, off-white head. Fat and rather aromatic nose - obviosly some good aroma hops are used here. Medium body with sweetish, roasted malts - somewhat vinous. Quite alcoholic and bitter finish. 030606

Sep 23, 2000 Updated: Sep 22, 2007Relatively black with a nice thick head. Nose is a mix of sugars and roast, with some burnt plum and citrusy hop. Flavour - well balanced, with lush sugars, rich hops, just-right roastiness, a little bit of burned fruit, and a shot of late alcoholic warmth. The body is thick and sugary. Complex, enjoyable, and very well-balanced.

Apr 18, 2008 12 lf oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a reddish hue and a huge, dense and chocolate brown head. Roasted malt and light hops aroma. Quite intense roasted. Flavour is smooth chocolate with solid roasted malt flavour. Medium sweetness and light hops note. Light coffee note following and slowly taking over into the finish. Dry and bitter/roasted finish. Lovely and smooth.
