Commercial Description:
Made with the most heavily peated malt in the world from the Bruichladdich distillery. Almost pitch black and opaque, small head. Furiously peated aroma, hiding the malt, licorice and dark chocolate somewhat. Very full bodied, thick mouthfeel, like fluid bread. Dark chocolate, loads of peat, lapsang souchong tea, chocolate cake, culminating in an almost endless aftertaste that also has licorice.

Bottle@Home. Aroma of coffee, black berries, tobacco and peat. Black colour, light brown head, good lace. Sweet, very bitter, black berries, coffee, loads of roasted malts, peat, tobacco. Full and surprisingly sparkling.. Powerful, flavourful and not over the edge with the smoke.

33cl #591. Black, tiny fading tanned head. Nose is salted ham, little smokiness, licorice, ashiness, not very sweet. Flavor is sweet salmiak, minty herbal notes, burned malts & loads of molasses, some islay smoke, salt, slightly thin and very coarse finish with coal and wood chips. Alcohol shows when warmer. Not too thick mouthfeel. Tastes like a messy De Molen.

75o ml bottle. An opaque black beer with a small and disappearing brown head. The aroma is very malty with notes of roasted grains, smoke (much smoke), chocolate and some berries. Powerful and intense. The flavour is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Almost a burnt note and again very smokey. Medium to full body, lively carbonation, long finish with medium to high bitterness. Surely a good beer.

10-OCT-2009, bottle @home. Black with high dark brown head. Wonderfull roasted, oily, liqourice, tar and the works. Henrik thinks it tastes like eating cigarettes. Much to smokey for my taste, but I acknowledge the effort, and still I enjoy this wonderfull beer.

Thanks to joes for this bottle, I really liked this beer. The smokey/peaty aroma hits you right away and is followed by a nice roasty, coffee, hoppy flavor. Delicious.
