Commercial Description:
Bottle: Filtered.
A rich dark ale, dominated by the strong flavours of blended roast malts that are the foundation of this beer. Smooth coffee and chocolate undertones are complemented by the addition of late harvest cone hops, giving a lovely blackcurrant aroma.

[At Københavnske Øldage 2005] A red-brown beer with a disappearing beige head. The aroma is of roasted malt combined with hints of wood. The flavor is dry roasted with notes of malt on a slightly acidic background. The body is thin.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a clear, dark brown with an orange hue. Tiny, off-white head. Aroma is one of hard roasted malt. Light body with malty, lightly burned coffee accents. Dry and very drinkable with a subdued bitterness. 140107

50 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a rim of an orange glare. Slowly collapsing light tan head. Chocolate and roasted malt aroma. Light body. Flavour is roasted and light acidic. Mild smoothness from the chocolate yet nothing that gives any body nor takes out the roasted notes into a decent balance. A bit thin and plain roasted, yet still a nice beer.

Bottled. Near black, small off white head. Aroma of licorice and black currant. Drish with clean, rounded mouthfeel and fairly light body. Roasty with notes of coffee and chocolate. Restrained hoppiness, fairly low bitterness. (No, I didn’t cheat and look at the commercial description before I rated it...)

Bottle. Malty, liquoricy aroma. Black colour, small light brown head.The flavour is nice, roasted and pleasant. The same goes for the aftertaste which also has some liquorice.

Bottled (thanks GarethYoung!). Very dark amber colour, quite close to black. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, blackcurrant along with some smoke and licorace. Just lovely. Flavour is at first very licoracy and some blackcurrant and some coffee but turns more and more roasted towards the finish. The roastiness and coffee stays for a while in a pleasant aftertaste. Really pleasant for a 4.2% brew.
