Bottle/12oz - Pours a very dark black/brown in color with no head and almost no carbonation. Aroma... dark roasted malts, oak/vanilla, chocolate, sweet herbs, sweet malts and plenty of red fruit... awesome. Palate is quite thick and smooth on the tongue. Flavor is medium sweet with lots of fruit... cherries and cranberries (!) mostly... lovely. Lingering dark roasted malts, cranberry tart/bitter and a decent amount of chocolate. Alcohol, in spite of its incredible strength, is well muted and offset by the other strong flavors of the beer. This is a masterful and awesome beer... one of the most enjoyable, if not strongest, I have had for a very long time!! Truly an amazing/excellent beer...

Deep black body with a dark brown head (to the extent that one can speak of a head, there is almost no head). Aroma mainly of coffee, but pop up as well: prunes, dark fruit, cognac, brandy: very complex aroma but not very attractive. Moderately bitter, heavily sweet flavour with actually a rather weak mouthfeel. Not as dense as one would have expected. Ok, not great.

Heavy coffee aroma. Small, light brown head. Fair lacing. Black body. Light sweet and light bitter flavor with heavy coffee notes. Medium to full palate.

Beer at brewdog tasting at the klooster. Thin off white head. Dark Amber pour. Still sweet but with a complex aftertaste. Lovely

this bottle has been in my cellar for 1 year. pours black with small frizzy head. Aromas of figs, dades, brown sugar, alcohol, oak Almost sticky taste from the high alcohol level. Round, extermely sweet and a slight bitter and oaky ending. Texture is oily, quite thin and watery. A lot of sugar left in my mouth... Why do I have yet another one in my cellar

Bottle from Systembolaget. Dark black, small tan head.Molasses, roasted malt, dark fruit, cherries and alcoholic aroma. A lingering sweetness dominates the taste and finishes off with a smokey roasted bitterness. A bit too rich and sweet for my preferences.

This was a beer that I was really looking forward to but didn’t quite meet my expectations. The aroma was quite nice, smoky with licorice and alcohol. The beer pours a dark black with little head even with a relatively aggressive pour. It has a smoky sweet taste with a strong licorice presence. Very little carbonation and heavy mouth feel. I found it difficult to drink a whole bottle and would have been more enjoying had I broken it into 2 or 3 different sessions.
