2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
A- Black as night slides from the bottle to the glass without making even a thin head. I can just about see my reflexion in the beer . . . I’d much rather see head! (insert joke here!)
S- Coffee, roasted malt, LOTS of Hop aroma
T- Burned, bitter day old coffee. roasted malts, a bit of smoke. Like the smell, there is a significant hop presence and more burnt coffee. You can barely taste the 9% alc in this, I am guessing it is just covered up by the bitterness.
M&D - low carbonation and an almost slippery feel to it, not an unpleasant feel to it but not what i am usually looking for. I drink one and I am done, this may have more to do with the aftertaste though as I will say that for a 9% beer They hide the Alcohol very well.

7th September 2009
Clear dark red brown beer. Semi soft palate. Moderate carbonation. Immediate hop attack! Well balanced by even malt and a fairly light touch of coffee. Finish is neutral and not at all dry. Well balanced coffee beer. Great but not spectacular.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Deep black clear body. Creamy brown head with an excellent lace. Complex, yet subtle arome of strong malts, dark fruit, hops, smoke. Moderately bitter, moderately sweet flavour. Bit sticky/dry flavour. Very nice, not great.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cremig röstiger Antrunk mit Aromen von Tannennadeln. Schokoladig herb, etwas rauchig. Auch eine deutliche Hopfennote ist vorhanden, die konstant hinter dem Malz liegt. Harmonisch aber recht eigen. 6/12/11/12/7/12

Denmark, Aug-Sept 2009. Bottle from Fonefan. Dark brown to lamost black with a reddish hue, tiny head. Very itnense roasted malt aroma with lots of coffee. The roasted malts and coffee beans domiante the taste as well, I can sense a not of pines fro mthe hops. Rather thin bodied.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
330 ml bottle @ Pannuhuone, Kuopio. Bottled 09/11/2008.
Pours a dark brown, almost black colour with a small foamy head which fades quickly. Aroma of very strong wood and mild hops. Mild flavour of roasted malts, wood, black coffee and tobacco. Medium bodied with a thin mouthfeel and a roasted coffee finish with some hops. Unbalanced, probably because of the aging.
