4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 21 Sep 2007) Black colour with brief pale brown head. Roasted nose with notes of chocolate, cocoa, vanilla and slightly oaky hints. Roasted taste with chocolate, cocoa, vanilla and a distinct cocoa bitterness in a fairly dry finish. Medium body. Great balance, loads of different tastes, but in perfect harmony. Lovely stuff!
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Very black. Striking cocoa aroma. Medium sweet with clean mouthfeel. There’s som plums and lots of chocolate. Fairly light bodied. Well balanced and quite mild, only the cocoa really sticks out.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: SEP 13, 2007 Medium creamy offwhite head. Seemingly opaque dark red body. Smoky cocoa and vanilla aroma, very mild and balanced. Deep yet mild dry cocoa and vanilla taste, fantastically well balanced. Sweetish. Dryish cocoa and hop aftertaste. Beautiful! Incredible that they managed to balance it so well. (0.275l draft.)
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: FEB 13, 2009 Je n’en dirai pas beaucoup pour le moment car, l’Homme étant ce qu’il est et (surtout) ce qu’il peut être, je suis légérement fatigué (y’a du vrai là d’dans!). Néanmoins, j’affirmerai que l’omptueuse robe noire, le sensuel collet de mousse blanche, les arômes de cacao et de vanille (d’Am. du Sud) et la facilité (et surtout l’intense et infini plaisir) à consommer ce breuvage nous approche de la perfection et de la divinité.
4.4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Draught - pint glass. Hits like a good stout, but fades in a wash of vanilla. Friends who like stouts love this beer, as do friends who normally hate stouts.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Dark brown color, with beige long lasting head and a lot of long lasting lace. The taste is of a rich mocha chocolat coffee. You can also taste some bitterness that just makes it even more inviting. The near perfect stout.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Aroma of espresso, dark chocolate and some nuttiness too, darkest brown, a finger of foamy long lasting tan head, some very pretty lace. Huge roasted coffee flavour, loads of dark chocolate and brazil nuts. Extremely well balanced, medium bodied, creamy, smooth, bitter and dry.Fabulous!! Incredibly too easy to drink!
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: SEP 21, 2006 Draught (nitro, I asked). at the bar in heaven, I mean Dieu du Ciel. Very deep ruby, clear, with a large, lasting, creamy beige head. Rich, sweet-yet-bitter aroma of strong mocha coffee, some hazelnut, with sweet light roast malt, chocolate, yeast and milk solids. Solid creamy mocha flavour, lots of hop bitterness, nowhere near as sweet as I expected it to be, only a small vanilla bean tang to it, has a long rich balanced finish. Mouthfeel - Lord this is a nice beer, felt perfect on my palate, thick, sweet, lightly carbonated, just a hint of acidity, with a long finish. Terrific sweet stout. My scawled not says "hooo - baby! that’s f’in nice!"
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap. Hazy, dark brown with fine fine creamy (finger thick) top. Aroma was very soft, velvety. Chocolate, cacao beans. Soft yet very rich juicy nose. Medium, full bodied. Plate dominated by soft textures, roasted grain and soft bitterness of raw cacao. Munich malts were used as well? Light yet very rich. Impression of chocolate dipped drink. Very good for chocolate lovers in cold fall nights.
