Dark rown with a small tan head. Malty aroma of caramel, toffee and brown sugar. Dry and slightly tart with licorice and roast malt flavour and a hint of sour cherries

Bottle, bought @ Alvinne Beershop. Pours all black with a small, creamy off-white head. Aroma has chocolate, light roasted, nuts, softly lactic, light vinious. Low carbonation, oily and light creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has roasted malts, chocolate, quite a bit of tartness. Clearly infected.

Bottiglia. Mi amo il nome di questa birra. Quasi completamente nera. Naso di cioccolato, cafe, pino. Un po’ acide, con cioccolato ed anisette. Delizosa ma pericolosa.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Near black pour with little to no head. Lots of chocolate aroma with some earthy hops. Slick, oily mouthfeel - flavors of oak and dark chocolate.

37cl bottle from Alvinne shop. lot 513 #226. Brune foncée, col moyen de couleur moka léger. Arôme malt, caramel, chocolat et levure typique de Alvinne, léger grains avec une note de réglisse. En bouche, bière agréable qui garde ce profile de Freigeist dans le côté chocolaté qui est assez épais et amer. Note aigre de la levure Morpheus avec pointe de fruits. Palais est assez épais et reste sec. Note de grains/froment et fruité de raisin/cerise noire. Le côté aigre/fruité s’adoucit avec l’incorporation de la lie.

Pours a deep dark black color with a small reddish brown head. Aromas of coffee, chocolate, with a hint of hops. Flavor has a lot of taste, with some coffee, and a touch of sour notes. A damn fine stout.

Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass deep black, small head. Starts intense malty and quite fruity like berries. Modest sourish. Gets better with every sip. Beginning a bit moldy, finish more malty-soapy with some liquorice. Interesting.

(375ml bottle thanks to bu11zeye) very dark brown pour with a ring of tan bubbles. Nose of milk chocolate, very light earthy hops, wood/oak, and chocolate malt. Taste of rich cherry, vinous, syrupy, sweet, tobacco and oak.

Bottle at Theis and Mette tasting. Pours brown with a tan head. Roasted malty aroma with liquorice and caramel notes. Flavour is acidic and bitter with notes of liquorice, a bit odd. Ends in a smoked after taste.
