Jun 30, 2008 Nice brownish pour with decent head. Nice aromas, layered and complex fruit notes are evident with plums, berries and a wheaty yeasty booziness. Elegant, almost velvety texture is quite nice and the taste yields a nice toasty fruit quality. Chocolate, raisin, peaches and deeper toasted nut flavors are there as well, there are a lot of flavors developing. A tasty, complex and elegant brew.

Jun 24, 2008 Pours a burnt sienna color and a silky, dense khaki colored head. Complicated mix of aromas: Sweet chocolate, licorice, allspice, raisins, and a slight roast wood note. Thick, smooth body. Initial taste of chocolate liqueur and dark fruits, followed by the spice mix and pralines. Nice and complicated, but its a very rich beer that needs to be enjoyed slowly.

Jun 21, 2008 Ordered one of these off the Internet. Pours almost jet black/dark brown with a creamy brown head. The aroma is of licorice, spice, oak, a little nut, dark fruit, hint of caramel, and finally raisins. The flavor is pretty complex, creamy, sweet and bitter. What you have here is a hint of raisin, hint of spice, roasted malts, dark fruits, hint of rum and a little nut. This is a very rich brew that almost has to be sipped. Very well balanced and deep. Overall I was impressed but expected more in the flavor department, as this is one of the most top rated beers in the world.

Jun 19, 2008 Updated: Nov 20, 2008Bottle I still enjoyed the denmark version more. I feel the etoh comes through more in this one and the spices are less intense. Still a solid beer.
Note, i dont know these bottles seem to be hit or miss ill get one with a really creamy body where the spices are as they should be and then the next one tastes metallic.
My score is an average of these experiences.
