Draft. A black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of sweet and roasted malt, alcohol, and wood. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, wood, whiskey, and roasted malt as well as a bit of smoke.

On tap. Pours a completely opaque black with a small beige head. Aroma of hard roasted malt and tar. Quite full-bodied with sweetish hard roasted malt, bitter chocolate, vanilla and a piquante smoky edge from the Bruichladdich Barrel. Discreet bitterness. Very well balanced. 150509

CBF09. From tap. Pours dark brown to black with a small tan head. Roasted and smoked malt aroma. Sweet, roasted and dark chocolate malt flavoured. Sweet roasted malt flavoured finish. Smooth and roasted.

Bottled@Monks Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Quite much pitch black colour with not too much head. Aroma is roasted malts, dark dry fruits, bunch of smooth whisky, some vanilla as well as some slight wooden notes as well. Flavour is very much the same in a really pleasant balance.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Very dark brown, no head. Sweet and chocolatey. Full bodied with soft mouthfeel. Salty molasses and milk chocolate embraces you with a thick syrupy very sweet sensation. Notes of coffee, very mild woodiness. Not my favourite amongs de Molen’s dark offerings.

KØ09. Good smoky aroma. Black colour. The flavour is nicely smoky, good burning wood, old fire and a little chimney. Quite peppery. Very good.

Draught at Københavnske Øldage 2009
Black color. Very nice Imperial Stout aroma, peaty and lightly phenolic, strong, persistent. Strong body, sweet, with strong caramel chocolate and roasted malt at the end; delicately smoked, some leather, very light tobacco. Gorgeus!

Tap at KBH Festival, 2009. Pitch black with a creamy brown head and lacings. Nose is smooth roasted. Coffee and hints of smoke. Mellow chocolate and coffee. Well balanced. Very nice.
