Very strong aroma of licorice, cappuccino and cocoa. Somewhat earthy. Roastiness. Balanced indeed as what concern hop, roastiness and body. Flavours are very strong, with a beautiful licorice dry ending, but it was so carbonated that i’ve found very hard to empty my mug.

H pump at the brew pub. Served almost warm, with a very silky and smooth palate, right carbonation and really strong and balanced flavours.

Addictive taste, never boring. Ballanced hops and roast,with a sweet caress. Probably one of the best companions in long winter nights. JorisPPattyn (5209), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 20, 2006 Served from a keg with a handpump... Near black but with red highlights; very un-casklike straight head. Drop , concentrated liquorice, treatens to be sweet. Tobacco-flavoured, ashes. Without the sparkler bit more fruity, blackberry flavours. Coffee-like. Very heavy body, but I think it is misleading. Slick & just sourish retronasal. Drink it WITHOUT the sparkler! kayrus (8), Italy does not count | 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 5, 2004 Dark colour, creamy. Coffee flavour. Brewed near Switzerland, but similar to some English porters. Good. Voivod (304), Como, Italy

Coffe and malty flavour with a strong liquorice aftertaste. Good, but a little boring in the end. fiulijn (7690), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy
