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.
Alcohol varies by batch.

Grovlam (4137) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAY 20, 2009
Bottle. [Beer festival 2009] Average light dark brown head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Black color. Aroma of complex smoke, wood, chocolate, roasted malt and liquorish. Quite strong and balanced taste. Full bodied with a soft carbonation and dry light alcoholic texture. Moderated to heavy sweet and mild bitter flavor. Lingering smoke and sweet liquorish like finish.

Defreni (2045) - Husum, DENMARK - MAY 17, 2009
UPDATED: JUL 28, 2009 Flaske: Kæmpestort mørkebrunt tæt skum på en kulsort øl. Virkelig et syn for guder. Sødlig duft af malt. Let brændt smag med en masse kaffe en smule chokolade og en tand røg. Bitter finish. Virkelig en god øl. Rerate: Røgen er virkelig intens i denne anden flaske, gør øllen helt fantastisk. Suverænt det bedste jeg har prøvet fra Molen.

thewolf (9853) - Kolding, DENMARK - MAY 9, 2009
Bottle. [thank you, harrisoni]
Pours completely black with a good, creamy, beige head. Wonderful lacings. Aroma is peity, lightly roasted, chocolate, smoke and light viniousness. The smoke doesn’t appear as ’in-your-face’ as Islay does. Medium carbonation, super creamy and dry mouthfeel. Dry flavour, hard roasted, peity, some dark chocolate, grainy and coffee. Very nice.

750ml corked and caged and waxed, via trade with capedbrewsader, thanks Phil. shared at alesmith today with a lot of people. Ok so to the review. Pours black with a 2 finger tan head. Nose is crazy, as Bill from Alesmith said "like stepping into a house that had been smoked in for 20 years with no ventillation, the nose is crazy its all tabaccy. Taste is really smokey too, peaty, tobacco, hops are dead, weird, and hopefully for those who still have bottles it will get better with age.
