Bottle. Pours with a drak color with medium head. Aromas of roasted malts. Flavors initially of stone fruit, then some roastiness and some chocolate. Big minus: it is too thin, and watery.

Dec 11, 2009 Bottle about a year old. Pours a slightly dull tootsie-roll color with a cream colored fizzy thin head. Aroma is very roasty, full creamy chocolate, very rich, lovely roasted malt aroma. Flavor is a bit duller, thinner, some nice rich roast, a bit of light butter, light hay, a bit of coffee towards the finish, sweet aftertaste. Medium bodied, thin syrupy watery with sparse soft fizzy carbonation.

Nov 7, 2009 50cl bottle. Dark ruby, nearly black, tight small latte head. Metallic, sweet vanilla sugary nose, little old raisins later on. Flavor has mild lactose, burned malt, some coal, no hops, clean but bland. Light bodied, slightly low soft carbonation. I just kept wondering how one could use 14 different malts, and have this taste-free beer?

Oct 30, 2009 Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Dark brown with red highlights. Pours large frothy head that recedes to a thin line but leaves very sticky lacy.
Aroma of chocolate, molasses, dark fruit, coffee and slight nuttiness. Smells stale, but in a good musty way.
Mild yet complex, with notes of chocolate, musty earthiness, plum, nuts and coffee. Ends just ever-so-slightly bitter with roasted malts and English hops.
Despite being relatively light, it has a smooth, almost creamy body. Low carbonation.
Fantastic session beer when malts are desired.
