4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
A pitch black beer with a small dark brown disappearing head. The aroma is of rope, tar, alcohol, and raisins. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of coffee and chocolate and hints of alcohol. It is very sweet - probably the 18% ABV, that does it. A wonderful beer.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
(Bottle 35,5 cl) Black and opaque with a light brown head. Extremely powerful nose with lots of raisins and alcohol. Loads of roasted alcohol, lots of sweetness - as if the syrup floats down the walls of my glass. Extremely complex, extremely full-bodied. Like sipping Heaven. But only in small quantities please... 170705
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 fl oz bottle, trade with ygtbsm94. Pours black with a dense chocolate brown head. Alcohol and light roasted malt aroma. Sweet malty, solid roasted. Smoked into and before the finish. Wineous fruity note too. Clearly a complex brew. Quite sweet finish, with a mild smoke note.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottled, vintage 2003, 18,8%
Opaque black, with no head whatsoever. Soft and pretty sweet smell (chocolate/toffee mix). Very "dense" taste of licorace and also a bit of chocolate. Even though the big alcohol%, I didn’t find any alcohol taste in this one, so the taste of alcohol is well-hidden.
4.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Black. I mean black hole black. Vodka nose, but after that you forget that it is ridiculously strong. Tons of malt. Roasty and pappery flavour. Increadibly balanced. Hats off!
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottled.
Dark brown coloured with a beige head.
Aroma of dried fruits, chocolate and alcohol.
The flavour is dominated by dried fruits with notes of liquorice and dark chocolate.
Alcoholic finish.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle at KØ09. Alcoholic aroma, paint thinner. Almost black colour. The flavour is sweet and alcoholic with some raisin. Paint thinner aftertaste. Very sweet and very alcoholic.

Black color. The head disappears quickly. Aroma of tar, caramel, roasted malt, roasted nuts; strong phenol and alcohol.
Strong dark caramel flavor, also one of the strongest phenolic beers I remember; tar, medium sweetness, Strong alcohol, liquorice, roasted nuts
Strong bitterness, but balanced in this powerful brew.
Very interesting classic example.
2007-02-10, vintage 2001 (with my deepest disappointment for buying it at New Beers Distributors as Vintage 2002); 5+ years old, 8-4-9-5-18=44
Black color; the head disappears quickly. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, glue, in equal proportion; young wood; dark chocolate with high percentage cocoa. Strong mouthfeel, it flows to the sides of the mouth like a superfluid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfluid); strong malt flavor, caramel, some molasses; it ends with a hint of rhubarb candies. It’s very sweet and the roasted malt doesn’t overwhelm the other flavors, extremely good!
