Jan 12, 2008 500 ml bottle provided by Sigmund, thanks! Average light brown head. Color is dark brown with a ruby glow. Exciting and unusual aroma; dry burnt malts, ash, smoke, and also a nice rustic sourness... Taste is burnt dark malts, bitter coffee and bitter licorice with a touch of wood. Good body considering the low abv. Dry roasty and bitter finish with long duration. Very exciting, very nice.

Jul 26, 2007 Updated: Dec 1, 2007Rerate, 500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Black colour, ruby in the highlights. Large to moderate tan head. Distinct aroma and flavour of heavily roasted malts, with a slightly burnt or even smoky character, notes of liquorice and coffee. Quite dry, this is not a stout of the "smooth and velvety" kind. Original rating: Draught at Gladmatfestivalen 2007, Stavanger. ABV is 4.5%. Black colour, moderate tan head. Moderate aroma of roasted malts and liquorice. Roasty flavour with strong notes of coffee, fairly dry. Moderate bitterness in the finish.
