argo0 (6145), Washington DC, USA May 9, 2008 (12oz bottle, thanks General_Gao) Medium tan head atop cola-black body. Aroma is moderately sweet, chocolate, some Bourbon, coffee. Taste is moderately sweet, chocolate, some vanilla/Bourbon. Sticky medium-full body, very low carbonation. sk8viking (6078), Copenhagen, Denmark Nov 21, 2007 Bottle. A deep red beer with a beige head. Light roasted, chocolate, light coffee aroma and taste. Medium body with a dry finish. fiulijn (5860), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Dec 5, 2007 Black color; big creamy head. Mild and milky aroma of roasted malt. Good body strength; good mix of flavors, with caramel and chocolate malt, but maybe the roasted malt wins over them; the flavor is still quite sweet, even if the bitterness is correct; a bit dusty. In the end, there is more a milky roasted malt aftertaste. Very balanced brew, good.
