Opaque black color, thick expresso head. Licorice and milk chocolate in the nose. Full-bodied. Toasted malts, lactose and licorice in the flavor. Toasted malty aftertaste. Sweet stout -like, so more sweet than roasted. "Easy to drink" -big stout. Maria (6345), Thisted, Denmark
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 21, 2007 It’s a pitch black beer with a huge, light brown and creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, light sweetnes, toffee and slightly sweet coffee. The flavour has a light sweetness, nice roasted malt, sweetish coffee and licorice, toffee and a hint of chocolate. The flavour is roasted and yet very smooth. It has a light bitterness and a very, very nice balance and harmony - yummi, what a nice beer. Thank you Linus_Stick for this wonderful beer!! 2342 faroeviking (6128), BjórtjóðveldiðBjórheimBjórsins, Faroe Islands
