Fantastic looking black beer. Nice long lasting head on top. Fine aroma’s of coffee, chocolate, burned malts, heavy caramel, dark sugars and hints of fruits. Taste is drier than expected, but still this exeptional beer is so nice to drink and so well balabced. Great looking lable too !

Draught @ Pre-ZBF Alvinne. A black colored beer, with a small thick beige head. The aroma of dark malts, some smoke, coffe, chocolate, with some liquorice juice. The taste of smoked malts, dry bitter chocolate, some coffee and wood. Great combination. The aftertaste is bitter with notes of chocolate.

At 22 per bottle, I figured this beer had better be worth it.
It was. In fact, I liked ti so much, I was moved to poetry. Thank you, Black Damnation.
O Black Damnation!
It is said,
"A sweeter glass
Has ne’er been bled.
Sublime vexation
Fullest head
And darkest doom
To you have fled."

Made with coffee beans while brewing, this must be the ideal Coffee Stout. Taste is so ground-like and espresso-reminding that it’s mindblowing! Palate is very coffeelike with a hint of saltiness. The mouthfeel on this one is awesome, it actually feels like a mixed soup when you move it around in your mouth.
Legendary.

on draft at the Pre-ZBF pours black with a tall dark tan head. Aroma is out of this world. Dark malt, coffee and a bakers chocolate nose that is very powerfull. Flavors are dark malt, liqorice and chocolate with a mild earth wood flavor in the background. I was a fan of the two beers already, but I really do believe the mix brings the earthyness of the BA and the dark malt and roastyness of the HandD and creates a great brew that I can’t wait to try bottle conditioned.

Bottle courtesy of Urbain at the schoolhouse, tasted with the 3 beer students, Kenny and Savannah. Thank you Urbain!
Very black (duh). No head. Scant lacing.
Aroma starts with whisky, but also dark fruits and licorice.
Flavor starts with coffee then progresses to plums, raisins, and finishes with burnt espresso.
Good body, slightly lighter than expected.
Incredible. Simply incredible. Can’t wait for pre-ZBF 2010.

33cL bottle. Pours pitch black, topped with a huge, frothy brown head. Beautiful roasted chocolate malt aroma, with hints of coffee, cocoa, and gin. Bitter coffee and burnt chocolate malt flavor, with dark fruit, wood, and bourbon. Alcohol is quite evident in the finish. Bittersweet chocolate lingers on the palate, with some warming alcohol. This is pretty intense, and very delicious.
