Inky, pitch-black appearance; big-bubble line around the edges; nice lacing. Raisins, dark chocolate, coffee, in a huge, layered nose; could sniff this all evening. Huge, viscous mouthfeel, vanilla roundness, marshmallow, huge amounts of coffee; dark chocolate in a long, bitter finish. So many things to enjoy about this beer. argo0 (7025), Washington DC, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 15, 2006 Pretty powerful aroma with chocolate and especially (english) liquorice. The taste is incredibly liqourice-like even though it has also a taste from strong coffee. Creamy good body. Sweeter aftertaste with liquorice and bitter hops. Incredible beer - it is a must try! Unfortunately the beer was rationised with only two bottles per person in the store where I bought it, caused by the fact that only 360 bottles is made. hammenlind (738), Sundbyberg, Sweden

Sweet, sugary, woody, acidic, roasted, coffee flavour. Great, pleasant acidity. GarethYoung (1110), Glasgow, Scotland

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Sep 5, 2006 [Bottled, thanks Ungstrup!] Very black, near no head. Loads of burnt malt up front. Fairly sweet with massive flavour of coffee and licorice. Very malty and rich with heavy, oily mouthfeel. Notes of burnt rye bread and tar. Shock and awe beer, but not out of balance. Ekstra indeed! oh6gdx (9109), Vasa, Finland
