UPDATED: JAN 22, 2008 Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of alcohol, soy sauce, and chocolate, and so it the flavor, combined with notes of caramel and coffee. fine.

(Bottle 50 cl) Completely opaque black with a rough, beige head. Fat aroma of dried fruit - prunes in particular - and a slightly peaty edge. Rather full-bodied with plenty of burned malt and a distinct, ashy edge. Sweet accents of prunes and a high malt astringency. 200707

Bottled@The 1st Vaasa CS/ES beer session (thanks JP). Pitch black with minor beige head. Aroma is ashes, coffee, caramel malts, roasted malts and some slight notes of toffee. Flavour is rather much the same, but has a clearly stronger chocolaty tone. Very pleasant.

Bottle. Black coloured with a beige head. Roasted aroma of tar and hops. Roasted flavour of butterscotsch and hops with smokey notes.

Pours thick & pitch black with some small brown bubbles on top which disappears fast. Burned malts - chocolate, coffee & caramel. Some smokey & dusty "old" notes as well. Medium bodied. Oily & sticky. Smooth palate & flat carbonation. Sugar & sweet malts before a bitter roasted end. Nice!

Bottle at London Gathering Nov 05. Really nice smell. Oily, dark malts. Slightly sour in mouth but good chocolate and coffee flavours. Finish is really liquoricey. Good bitter dark choc and the liquorice is quite intense. Best of the Alcazar bottled beers I bought in Nottingham that I have had so far.
