| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 23, 2008 Drunk to celebrate my rating number 10,700. Bottled. A black beer with a deep red shine under a huge dark brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of spices and fruit, as well as lighter notes of phenol, chocolate, herbs, and alcohol - a very complex aroma. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of chocolate, caramel sauce, roasted malt, herb, vanilla, and alcohol - I guess it can be reduce to an ice cream topping of world class. The finish is dry and roasted - and you don’t notice the 100 IBU, they are hidden behind the roasted malt and alcohol. The mouthfeel is very smooth. Lovely. Papsoe (14904), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 6, 2009 Bottle 33 cl. Pours completely opaque black with a dense and creamy light brown head. Aroma of hard roasted malt, vanilla and alcohol. Very full-bodied with a soft mouthfeel, sweet hard roasted malts and bitter dark chocolate with a little vanilla. Malt bitter finish. No way of telling that this is 100 IBUs! A sweet and not overly burned Imperial Stout. Listenining to La Brabanconne on YouTube while drinking this didn’t really add all that much to the experience! 030309 omhper (12179), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 30, 2008 Draught at the Struise farm. Opaque black, firm creamy head.Aroma of black currant and licorice. Swet and fryuty with coffee, tobacco, caramel and dextrose. While there are massive amounts of interesting flavour in here it also suffers a little from the Mikkeller Black syndrome - sharp dextrose sweetness. Here it is far from as overpowering, leaving much more room for other flavours. It’s surprisingly slim for a beer of it’s size and remains drinkable. Slight inky finish - sort of orange juice and tooth paste. yespr (12024), Copenhagen O, Denmark

Pours pitch black with a extremxly slowly collapsing chocolate broan head. Aroma is mild fruity and hard roasted malt. Flavour is mild yeasty and hard roasted malt. Extremely smooth and roasted flavoured. Light acidic and mild citric touch in the finish, hard roasted. Nice one. fonefan (11303), VestJylland, Denmark

Dark dark black color with a large, frothy - creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, light brown head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, milk and dark chocolate, strong coffee, moderate hoppy grass, grape, plum, raisin, licorice. Flavor is heavy sweet and moderate to heavy bitter with a long long duration, a very complex flavor and so round and smooth. Body is full, texture is creamy, carbonation is soft - flat. It is truly the best brewers in the world. ;o)) (280208) 9-5-10-5-20
Bottle 33cl @ home. Clear dark black color with a large, creamy - frothy, excellent lacing, fully lasting, beige to light brown head. Aroma is moderate to light light heavy malty, roasted, caramel, chocolate, dusty chocolate malt, moderate to heavy yeasty, raisin - dryed plum, alcohol. Flavor is heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily - syrupy, carbonation is soft - flat, finish feel is moderate alcoholic. All in all the bottle version is a bit more like a belgian IMP, and the it a lot of air and time in the glass to all the good aroma’s and flavor’s that the Black Albert has on draught, so for me it means that to rate this beer properly from a bottle the bottle need to site for some days and you need at good sniffer glas and good time to give the beer time and air ... but then it just gets better and better ;o)) (060708) 8-5-9-4-18 MiP (9070), Sønderborg, Denmark
