3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Black body with a small light brown head. Aroma is earthy notes, coffee, roasted malt. Flavor is burned caramel, bitter coffee, tobacco, wet earthy notes. Low carbonation, nice lacings. I was quite dissapointed with this.

bottled, at rbesg08 grand tasting. shiny back with a thick beige head; aroma of mudcake and tar; rich flavours of sticky date pudding and vanilla cream with an aggressive burnt bitterness giving you a bit of a whack around the tastebuds

Massive Mikkeller pt.2. A bottle I thought I’d never be able to land! Dark black pour with a good amount of charred chocolate in the aroma and flavor. Good carbonation for this style. Very tasty and I’m jazzed I got to try it.

bottle... dark brown body with no head at all... the nose is super charred with lots of peat and black sharpie... the taste is a mixture of chocolate and peat, a bit too charred for me, not a big fan

25 cl bottle. Dark brown with speckled froth. Nose is chocolate, coffee bean, hay, smoke and prunes. Milky body with a tang. Taste is intense dark chocolate, bitter black licorice, Irish coffee and vanilla. A little dusty but delicious.

Tief malziger Antrunk mit dezenten Süßnoten, die sich von ihrer Intensität der Röstigkeit anpassen. Intensive Kaffeenoten runden dies ab, das Bier ist absolut harmonisch, Natürlich kommt kein noch so intensiver Hopfen durch, das Bier ist absolut auf das Malz ausgelegt. Intensivst erdig-malzig auch im Abgang, in dem aber bereits wieder Spielraum für andere Aromen gegeben ist, der freilich nicht genutzt wird. Espressoartiger Nachgeschmack. Super! 8/12/10/12/9/12

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, generously shared by fata2683 in the hotel lobby at RBWG 2011, as part of my Nip Breakfast, along with Narke Kaggen Stormaktsporter and De Molen Hemel & Aarde Bruichladdich Barrel. Pours opaque black, thin tan head, spotty lacing. Nose is smoky, tarry, with hints of coffee and black licorice. Flavours of tar, soot, fudge, ink, some chocolate. Maybe it’s just the company this beer was in, but it didn’t really shine for me.
