MJGG (398), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Nov 2, 2009 Bouteille de 22 oz. Arômes très intenses de houblon résineux et pamplemousse. Robe noire, très légèrement translucide, belle mousse mocha. En bouche, le malt chocolat et légèrement grillé réussit à percer le mur de houblon résineux et aromatique. Finale moyennement amère et légèrement sucrée. L’alcool transparaît dans l’arrière-goût. Une belle création. planky84 (97), , Greater London, England Nov 1, 2009 Bottle from Beers of Europe. Dark brown pour with a long lasting beige head. Good carbonation. Aromas of chocolate, quite flowery, hops, malts. Flavours of citrus, summer fruits, burnt malts, raspberry. Quite complex. Finishes very hoppy indeed. leaparsons (4658), Leicester, Leicestershire, England Nov 1, 2009 Bottle. Black with a beige rocky foam. Aromas are molasses and liquorice with lots of herbal notes and rich black coffee. Flavours are rich, bitter roast coffee with liquorice. Some cream with bitter dark chocolate with raisins and dates. Fruity and dark with an oily palate. Strong warming alcohol. halfonit (415), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA Oct 31, 2009 Black color. Aroma is of intense hops, pine, and some coffee in the undertones. Taste is full of hops with some pine and floral characters in the back end.. Aftertaste leaves a floral hop flavor. Pretty good. washoppinin (19), Florida, USA Oct 30, 2009 Very impressed with the balance of malt and hops. After the initial roasted coffee hits the hops start to come thru as piney and grapefruit. Would like to age out a couple of years. mjs (1445), Helsinki, Finland Oct 30, 2009 (Draught) Poured almost black wtith small tan coloured head. Aroma of hops, pine and malts. Palate was full bodied with medium carbonation. Tasted of malts, roastedness, hops, lightly molasses and hint of liquorice. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. ansermadide (496), Kyle, Texas, USA Oct 25, 2009 Sampled at Flying Saucer’s Second Annual Fall Beer Festival in Austin on October 24, 2009. Blacker than black. Roasted malt aroma. Thin mouthfeel, the surprise of the year: for as dark as it is, it has a very hoppy flavor. At first glance you’d think this was an imperial stout. This is amazing. Slightly dry finish. Deep dark perfection. Sledutah (20), Utah, USA Oct 22, 2009 Dark in color, almost opaque. Light thick brown head with a nice amount of lace left on the sides of the glass. The first taste was a surprise, it tasted more like a Pale Ale with a small amount of roasted malts. As the beer warmed up the alcohol comes through more and more. It finishes very smooth.
