500ml bottle - gift from Fin - thanks! Shared with our host in Copenhagen, a closet beer nerd who really appreciated the chance to taste some English ales, so thanks from him as well!<br /> Black, beige head. Burnt stout aroma. Drying bitterness in the mouth, but also quite refreshing. Burntness dominates the finish.

Almost black with tiny short lasting head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and coffe notes. Flavour likewise with chocolate aswell. Ends dry and mild bitter.

Pours a v.dark brown with little. aromas of blackcurrant and strong roasted malt backing. matches the usual flavours with more roastiness, coffee bean and ashy feel, fairly dry...just a little on the thin and short side

(6/29/08) Bottle sample at RBESG08 grand tasting in Plzen. Black-colored beer. Aroma of roasted malt and some espresso. Sweet roasty flavor that continues drier. Medium-bodied.

Bottled @ RBESG Grand Tasting 2008. Hazy and very dark brown in colour with a small head. A bit on the thin and sharp side - notes of dark fruit, herbs and chocolate.
