Bottled. Very dark brown coloured. Dense light brown head. Aroma of chocolate, light coffee, sweetness and vague roast. Flavour of roast, sweetenss, dense chocolate, smoke and light herbs and grass. Medium to full bodied. Dry chocolaty and roasty end. Has a vague bitterness and smokyness. Quite nice.

Marvelous smoked beer. Rich in taste with a moderation to the smokiness. i never knew juniper could work out so nicely. Shared with a friend who appreciates smoke, worked lovely with its bold slightly imperial stout and spicy taste with a long and multi course lunch.

75 cl bottle. It poured a black liquid with a pale brown head. Sweet taste of coffee, chocolate and a mild and smooth smokiness.

A black colored beer, with a thick foamy beige head. The aroma of fruit, berries, dark malts, with some hints of chocolate. The taste of roasted malts with coffee and chocolate notes, fruits like some berries with spices. A little burny. The aftertaste of roasted malts with bitter and sweets.

Bottle@Home Apperance: Dark++ brown with a huge, beige, head. Aroma: Chocolate, Caramel, Smoke, Licorice and juniper(?). Taste: Caramel, Chocolate, Hint of smoke, Hint of herbs, Licorice and some roasted malts. Palate: Smooth and complex with a dryish bitterness at the end. Very drinkable for what it is. Another solid brew from De Molen. Wish i could have tasted more of that juniper tho!

Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Deep brown pour, looking almost black. Massive, staying, creamy, beige head. Aroma has lots of smoked malts, tar, luscious dark chocolate. Medium carbonation, lovely creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is lovely, lots of smoked malts but not all that - instead, there is wonderful herbal dryness, lots of dark chocolate, mild coffee, juniper. Mild vinious, but there is enough mouthfeel and dryness to balance it wonderfully. A very nice beer.

Bottle. Pours a black color with a small off-white head. Has a roasted malty smokey aroma with some fruity juniper hints. Roasted malty smokey chocolate flavor with some spicy hints. Has a roasted malty smokey caramel and chocolate finish.

UPDATED: MAR 10, 2012 750 ml bottle from bierkompass! This was my Rating N° 1000, in May 2010!!!!!!! the glass pours a pitch black and completely opaque beer with a creamy flat head. The smell is absolutely intoxicating already! Coffee roasting, restrained smoky, berry-fruity-chocolatey, the juniper flavor comes through very subtle. Starts coffee-bitter, with hints of chocolate, similar to a good Imperial Stout, also very very chocolaty berry with good fruit nuances. The smoke flavor is hard to taste, but it comes more and more to advantage, at the center part! The aftertaste is bitter chocolatey, very long finish. The finish is then more bitter, the chocolate berry flavor remains dominant until the last sip. One of the best beers, I’ve rated so far!

75 cl bottle thanks to thomat! On January 15, 2011. 2010 version
Very dark brown color, light brown head. Sweet a bit lactic scent. Sweet, malty, roasted, alcohol taste. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bitterness.

Bottle. Pours dark brown almost black with a creamy tan head. The aroma is sweet hard roasted malt, spices, caramel, light smoke and dark fruit. The flavour is dark ripe fruit, some smoke, chocolate, light coffee, light juniper and spices. Quite complex brew.

It’s black-red with a golden, creamy head and a soft and nice aroma of smoke and licorice. The flavour is moderately sweet with notes of juniper, smoked malt, licorice and it has a dryness, probably from the juniper. It’s quite complex and nice.
