| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 26, 2009 Bottle. A gorgeous looking black beer with a dense. finger-thick, tan head. Peat, licorice, sea, some dried fruits, beefstock, tar and burnt malts in the aroma, quite complex, but sort of too much on the burnt side. The flavor is much the same, but troubled with some vegetal notes. Medium body, rather dry, and a roasted bitterness in the finish. I’m not certain if I like the flavor of this one, but the aroma is rather fancy. 090724 Geokkjer (256), Kristiansand, Norway

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 13, 2009 500 ml bottle from Jonathan Ron. Pours a very bubbly bodied solid black with a large soapy beige head. The initial aroma was very nice, dark chocolate, vanilla exract, slight coffee. However just moments later that nice aroma changes too a very grassy, rotting flowers, plastic scent, ugh where did that nice initial aroma go?? The body on this one is very thin with super bubbly lively carbonatin, sort of lke seltzer. Flavor has some decent burnt and roasted malts with chocolate notes and grassy hops. All in all this beer was a let down. topherh (899), Kearney, Missouri, USA
