Pours black with tan head. Aromas of burnt malts and a hint of chocolate. Slightly sweet with flavors similar to aromas, burnt malts and a mild chocolate finish. Full body with inimal carbonation. A pretty good stout.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle (in NZ) courtesy of yalnikim, pours black with a foamy brown head. A floral hop aroma with a hint of molasses in the malt. The roasted malt palate is a bit grainy, with some coffee flavour. The finish is, dare I say it, a little thin and metallic. Still good, but I don’t quite see it as high as the ratings here indicate.

Oct 3, 2008 (Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 20 Sep 2008) Black colour with firm, brown head. Malty, roasted nose with lots of dark chocolate and notes of dark rye bread. Malty, roasted taste with dark chocolate, coffee, dark rye bread and a dry cocoa bitterness in the finish. Medium to full body. Smooth, mellow mouthfeel. Lovely balance. Great beer!

Sep 25, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Solid nose. A little watery, but some awesome coffee and maybe, possibly, unprobably some dark chocolate and finishes very nice.
