(Draught@HBF2008) Almst black with a very small head. Strong hops, berry leaves, and faint hints of alcohol in the aroma. Licoricey maltiness, light roastiness, and warming but smooth alcohol inthe flavor. Almost full-bodied, warming palate with low carbonation. Very nice and pleasant in small doses, and hides the high ABV well.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottle at Århus Ølfestival. Pours a lovely black body under a medium sized tan head. Very hopped nose, with grapefruit and pine, roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and some alcohol. Sweetish roasted flavor with chocolate, lots of citrusy, grassy hops and a lovely bitterness, both coffee-bitterness and hop-bitterness. Lasting finish with sweetness and coffee. Full-bodied, quite sweet. A beauty with a lot of both the hops and the darkness. (080516)

Burning beer, but with a very good and complex mix of caramel, chocolate and hops; some sweet liquorice too at the end; the aroma is somehow milky and cheesy too.
