Very dark color. It has a quite ordinary aroma, but followed by an extra-ordinary flavor, where the usual caramel and chocolate &&#35;40;and enough sweetness&&#35;41; are followed by a new flavor, maybe wood, maybe nuts, maybe chocolate, maybe pine; impossible to catch but astonishing. Excellent.

Chestnut brown, with little head. Slightly whiskeyish notes, vinous aroma with only a little bit of stouty roast. Kind of thin, bit of whiskey note at the end. Dryish.

(Bottle, Batch 002) Pours a dark reddish brown body with small beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, light chocolate, caramel, and nuts. Flavor of roasted malt, hops (citrus), chocolate, and coffee with a bitter finish.

Bottle at Chris_o Shindig. Very dark brown with tan head. That’s good. I like all of it. Aroma, mouthfeel, finish. Superb. One of the beers of the day for me.

Cask @ The Rake, Borough. Pours a black color with an off-white head. Roasted fruity malty chocolate aroma with some hints of coffee. Sweet roasted malty chocolate flavor. Has a long warming malty chocolate finish with some hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste.

Bottle at Aarhus beerfestival. Pours black with a off white head. Lots of roasted malts, chocolate & coffee. Only lightly smoked, which for me is quite pleasant. Dark fruits - plums & raisin. Quite dusty & warm. Quite good product!
