Sep 16, 2009 Pours just a hint off jet-black with off-tan thin head. Aroma is sweet, chocolate, hint of roast and some plums/raisins. Oh this is good. Very smooth, creamy, with a roasty and dry aftertaste that lingers. Chocolate, coffee and and a hint of fruit flavor very faint and fades as the roastiness steps up. Well balanced, nice flavor, nothing too extreme. If anything the palate is a bit light.

Sep 15, 2009 Pure black, small dark brown head. Chocolate aroma. Wonderful velvety mouthfeel with a beautiful and undeniably silky finish with plenty of flavours rolling across your tongue. Full bodied. Nice bitterness in the finish. Complex chocolate flavours develop in the finish. With a richer aroma, it would be nearly perfect. Breathtaking.

Sep 11, 2009 A strong aroma and a very opaque appearance. The mix of flavors includes a creamy caramel, coffee, licorice, grapes and cherries. Hearty, but very smooth for a stout.

Sep 7, 2009 3 bottles consumed, acquired via trade. Pours black as pitch with a very minimal tan head and solid lacing. Aroma is licorice, chocolate, toasted malt, a hint of earthy hop. Flavor is big on the toasted malt with less licorice than I expected and a solid chocolate backing that keeps it all in line. Another excellent beer from Bells, I really wish they distributed out here, I bet they’d find a huge market!

Sep 2, 2009 (Bottle, Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee and a hint of liquorice. Malty, roasted taste with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, some liquorice and a dry, smotth, creamy finish with some coffee bitterness. Great balance. More or less what stout is all about. Lovely beer!
