33cl bottle, obtained in trade with my Secret Santa sunevdj - THANKS SUNE! dark brown, almost black, with a small brown head. Nose is dry baking chocolate and coffee. Bracing, dry bitter baking chocolate flavors, black coffee. Once this guy fully warms, everything smooths out, and a dark fruit quality appears in the flavor and nose. Bitter black coffee finish. Light bodied without being thin. Very nice!

Bottle from Madsberg: Dark brown to black, with a small tan head. Aroma, my idea of a porter, very roasty, with some coffee, almost smokey, just a hint of chocolate. Flavor, some dark fruits, roasted malts, coffee. Pretty solid beer.

Fine dark porter, milk chocolate head. Nice balance between coffee, chocolate and port. Plums, cherrries and still a dryness stong engough to compensate.

Pours black in black, with dark brown foam. Roasted coffe and chocolate aroma. Massive roasted aroma with chocolate, coffe and bitterness. Great beer indeed.

Bottle. Need to re-rate this one, as it was way to low rated. [24-09-2006Bottle. Pitch dark color. Nice brown head. This beer is very smoky and coffee like in flavor and aroma.] Nice creamy beige head that mostly lasted. Good lacing. Color was black. Aroma was coffee, chocolate, smoke, licorice, roasted. Defiantly not as smoky as I originally thought it was. Quit smooth and very drinkable. Medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation. Flavor was moderates sweet with good balance bitterness from the burned notes. Finish was quit sweet with again some balancing burned notes. Great beer.

Thanks Matt. Opaque jet black with a moderate brown head. Full aromas of peat, smoked salmon, mild coffee and dark chocolate. Flavors of caramel and fully roasted malt. Mild tobacco and black malt acidity. Tons of dark hearty bee qualities. A cool weekend working around the house type brew.
