Very dark colour, small brown head. Sweet malty aroma. Malts and coffee in flavour, stout-like. Bittersweet lingering finish. Solid brew.

Bottle. Dark brown, head is tan and thin. Chocolate and nutty aroma, some raisin notes. Bittersweet chocolate roasted flavor. Slightly astringent.

Opaque, coffee brown color w/ a "maltine" cracker nose. Smells like malted saltine crackers. Pours full nectar. Minimal froth w/ ample residual effers. Flavors are bright and squeeky clean. Warming flavors of coffee, hay, bread, desiccated cherry, leather with just a touch of sweetness. A silky smooth texture, with a long finish. Very complex and well ballanced. Alcohol is well hidden. Overall; a fantastic specimen. Highly recommended.

(bottle) deep black with tan head. Roast malt aroma with hints of chocolate. Flavor of roast malt and dark fruits.

500 ml bottle. Dark, almost black with a really nice ruby red hue. Head is really small leaving only a thin light brown film. Sourish roasted dark chocolate aroma. Raisins without the sweetness. Acidic malts with a deeply roasted sweet chocolate and caramel impression. Licorice. Mellow smooth texture, but unfortunately a bit thin-bodied.

Very nice aroma that is rich, creamy and slightly roasty. Full and malty mouthfeel. Not very complex. Dry and roasty finish. Heary and enjoyable.

black. Good tan head lasts a while. Malty aroma that is dominated by sweetness. The flavor is malty and syrupy with maple, milk, malt, roastiness, and pecan. The palate is quite velvety. It finishes with a flavor like fresh cut pecan wood and sugary sweetness.

UPDATED: FEB 1, 2012 Bottle in Murmansk, Russia. Black colour with a beige head. Moderate sweet aroma with some roasted malt and chocolate. Rich and mild flavour. Roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla and licorice
