Sep 26, 2008 This beer pours out black, just like the name suggests. A two finger head forms on top and laces the glass, however, the head is a little short lived. The aroma smells mostly of roasted malts and some chocolate in there as well. The flavor is nicely mild, being dominated by the roasted and the chocolate malts

Sep 25, 2008 Dark brown color with small beige head. Aroma is a bit sweet, roasty malty with coffee. Flavor is syrupy malty with slightly bitter and dry aftertaste. Medium-bodied and low carbonated palate. OK but quite boring brew.

Sep 22, 2008 Bouteille de 341 ml. La bière est noire avec des reflets rubis profond surmontée d’une belle mousse couleur chocolat qui colle sur la paroît du verre. Au nez on respire des arômes de chocolat, de caramel, de grain torréfié, de vanille avec une peu de grain fumé. En bouche le corps mince-moyen avec une effervescence crémeuse. On goûte le chocolat, le café glaçé, le caramel, le grain torréfié. Se boit en douceur tout en ayant un bon goût.

Sep 20, 2008 Pours very dark with short lived light brown head. Smell is strong of molasses and caramel. Nice and balanced sweetness with medium body. Almost no bitterness. This is a good quality lager with a warm fuzziness about it. I could drink this all night.
