Pours a near-black with a thick brown head. Good lacing. Very roasty aroma and flavour, charred and a little earthy. Bitter chocolate and a hint of fruit (yeast?). Smooth and full-bodied, with medium sweetness. Finish is quite dry. This plays more like a foreign stout in my mind, but who cares... it’s awesome!

650ml bottle airborne from Seattle - big thanks to Stefan and Elisabeth for providing this great stout for a beer session in Tromsø. Pitch black body under a brownish, lacing-head. Smell of roasted coffee beans overlaid by moderately sweet malts. Powerful and well balanced taste of dark chocolate, anise, burnt coffee and hops – all added a vanilla touch. Bittersweet ending. Medium to full bodied. IBU 65 [Tromsø, 29.01.2009].

Thanks to lb4ln for sending me a bomber. (and Old Mr Crow who sent me a bomber in the past that I drank without rating) Pours dark brown with a medium head. Aroma is roasted dark malt and coffee. Taste is dry with a big, roasty flavor and good natural coffee flavor in the malt. A very fine sessionable stout that I wish I could buy closer to me.

I’ve been meaning to try this one for a while now. Looks inky black with a little chocolate-colored head on top. Tastes smoky with a molasses-like tang. Seems especially bitter.

Courtesy of tpd975. Pours deep darkness with nice mocha head. The aroma is licorice, mild burnt molasses, hints of coffee, chocolate, burnt malts and just a bit of toffee. The taste starts roasty and chocolate and then becomes a bit astringent with roasted malts drying things out. A modest level of sweet dark fruity esters persists in the background. It ends roasty with a hint of chocolate. Very nice.

courtesy of tpd975. - updated 11-11-2009 - Pours black with mahogany head. Aroma of roasted malts and coffee. Hitns of citrus hops. Flavor, coffee and chocolate with malts. After taste has a light hoppy mouthfeel. Amazing beer for this abv, with complex characteristics. Possibly, some bitter chocolate. Hints of dark fruits, raisin/currants like mouthfeel.

Bottle thanks to tpd975. Pours a deep black with a tan head. Aroma of maple, oak, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, and some caramel. Flavor is fizzy with coffee, earth, chocolate, hops, and lingering coffee bitterness. Nice beer.
