3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
12ozbottle from Hegedorns. Pours a inky black, looks a little thinner than I thought it would be. Strong aromas of rubbing alcohol, roast. Coffee is absent from the nose. Taste is very boozy, cloying. Very hot. Not my favorite.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle at Akkurat, April 2013. (vintage 2009)
Black with no head. Very nice aroma of dried fruit, licorice, soy, port wine and some notes of berries. The taste was excellent, heavy but still nicely drinkable. Notes of alcohol, dried fruit, soy, port wine and some very light notes of roasted malt. Also dark chocolate and sugar. A great one! Expensive (595 sek, around 93 USD) but worth the price. Would love to try this one again. Heavy but an excellent one to sip.

@akkurat: stor tung doft av arrak, soya, choklad. Ingen rostade toner. Smaken är fyllig och komplex. Jag hittar toner av russin och plommon. En del alkohol. Ganska sött. Gott.

Rating #1000 yay! Thnx to Greg for sending me this bottle. 2010 version. Pours a pitch black beer, no light shining trough whatsoever. Small beige head on top. Aroma is very medicinal, full of molasses, licorice and has some boozyness in the smell. Flavour is very sweet, high alcoholic. When warmed up, flavours become more subtle. Roasted malts and chocolate are ruling now but still there is a heavy alcoholic kick in this beer. Mouthfeel is kinda burning, yet cloying and syrupy. Very heavy beer, great sipper. Would love to try to age one of these!!
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours black with non-existant tan head. Aroma of port barrel, cherries, muscovado, chocolate, booze. Very nice! Taste is very portlike, sweet, rich, distinctly sweet with a rich alcohol finish. Body is thick, creamy and oily, like a 20 year old port. Brilliant.

Pours pitch black. Nose is muscovado sugar, coffee and chocolate and juniper berries. Taste is mocca, chocolate, juniper berrries, dark sugars and whisky. Absolutely fantastic. Aftertaste just lingers....

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
2010 Vintage
Pours black and settles black with slight hints of ruby. Half finger of light brown head that falls to a ringed collar. Thick and slow moving ABV legs. More like a wine or a port by the legs.
Very much a port like nose. Chocolate, oak, raisins and more dark fruits. Slightly sweet and boozy nose.
Chocolate liqueur taste and feel mixed with port and dark fruits. Alcohol is there but it is much more restrained, Probably was a train wreck early in it’s life that now borders on something far more deep and complex.
A slow sipper but quite nice
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at railroad st bar. Pours pitch black with no head to speak of. The aroma has a big mocha note with tons of roast. The taste has a big dark chocolate, light coffee, a bit of booze. Pretty wild.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle (from backlog). Super dark pour with faint chocolate and dried dark fruit aroma. Overwhelming prune/raisin flavor along with chocolate, malt and booze. This is definitely hot and warms going down.
