Dec 27, 2009 courtesy of Per - pours a fully cloudy ruby-brown colour under a solid beige foam; nice lacing; nice balance in the nose between a fair hop presence and toasted chocolatey malts; notes of herbs and licorice too; some robust sweetness and a full malt body, quite velvety palate; a fair bitterness lasting long in a chocolaty and licorice finish - robust and heavy stuff

Dec 26, 2009 Bottled. Cloudy dark brown, rich head. Orangey licorice aroma. Medium sweet with medium-full body. Really hoppy with perfumy grapefruit and licorice. Powerful lingering bitterness. Lots of hop power hidden in chocolatey malt.

Dark ruby-brown colour with pale brown head. Orangey hops, with chocolate in the background. The hop biterness set in pretty early, whereas the maltiness feels a bit subdued, but there is slight nutty maltiness due to the munich malts. Citric hops dominate, in the background a pleasant chocolate is found, along with wood in the finish, plus some alcohol. The bitterness feels really striking, and the beer feels to be pretty dry, maybe because of the hops. Great beer!

Dec 21, 2009 0.5 L bottle from Systembolaget. A fingerthick khaki head over a near black body with ruddy edges. Aroma of rounded roastedness and toffee/caramell A pleasant and distinct hoppy smell, too. Medium to full malty, well roasted, with coffee and chocolate notes. A generous amount of fruity and light resinous hops is there to balance. Well-bodied and quite palate-coating. Hop bitter and roasted, malty ending. A very nice one, potent and tasty.

Dec 18, 2009 Very dark brown, tan head.
Mothwatering hoppy aroma. Pine and forest, like a liquid Christmas tree. Hop juice, but there is a malty body rising to the challenge.
Pepper and spearmint, too.
