3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft sample @ MBGF Summer 08. Pours dark brown with a medium beige head. The aroma had roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and a hint of dark fruits. The flavor is more of the same: roasted malt, caramel, chocolate, burnt coffee, and light smoke. This was decent, but had nothing to cause it to stand out.

Draught at Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen
Black color. Some aroma of glue, roasted malt, paint thinner, hard alpine cheese (Toma). Good body strength, the mouthfeel is both smooth and round; strong dark chocolate flavor, but also with a good share of roasted malts (too much for me and for a Porter); the final is salty, with some liquorice.
Good for the lovers of very dark beers, but not special or thrilling.

Craft Beer. Opaque black beer, tidy tan-cream head. Mildly crisp palate, slightly dry. Mild dark malt that is sweetish. There is the requisite coffee and dark chocolate but it’s not heavy man! Very nice red berry fruits bringing up the rear. Strawberry, cherry, trace of raspberry. Crisp minerally fresh finish. A bit of a cracker!
