A pitch black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of coffee and chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol and coffee, but some sour carpet notes in the aftertaste.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours an almost black, opaque with a creamy, brownish head. Very roasted aroma. Full-bodied with loads of chocolate and roasted malt. Soft, smooth finish. Thanks to Yogi_Beera and pivo for this. 170406

Black; rich roast in the nose. Slightly fatty body, light fruitiness (a function of the high gravity) - like cherries and grapes; long malty finish. I can see this having great appeal to some but for me it seemed less than the sum of its parts.

Bottled, thanks to René for sharing. Dark brown coloured with a small beige head. Aroma of malts, liquorice and coffee with notes of dried fruits. Roasted flavour of liquorice and coffee.
