Rich complex sweet molasis aroma, lots of roasted character, strong malt flavor, good carmel sweetness but not too sweet, warming but not alcoholic, just a hint of bitterness in the finish,

black, thin tan head, rich ripe fruit aroma aroma, rich malt, initial bitterness on first couple of sips but subsides as lots of fruity vineous character takes over, very creamy, fumey finish, a fine after-dinner sipping drink

black, thin tan head, sweet roasted aroma, rich malt flavor, touch of fruity character, does not appear to have the depth of prior years - maybe needs more age, goes well with a fine blue cheese

Oct 6, 2008 Rating #200. Bottled on 10/10/06 I believe, hard to read the date stamp, but green capped. Half of the bottle into the snifter yields a completely opaque black body with a modest tan head that disappears quickly to a lasting ring but a swirl will revive some carbonation temporarily. The nose is potent alcohol that is trying to hide behind a powerful sweetness with smaller notes of roasted malt and molasses. Not quite as viscous as I expected but certainly a thick syrupy coating brew. Very very sweet, but not offensively so. Goes down with a slight burn and notes of roasted malt, licorice, chocolate, sweet dark fruits, some soy sauce and vanilla. Very port like and vinuous. And very good though likely not for everyone. To me another winner from DFH. My other bottle is being put away for a few more years.

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle. I only got a small sample out of the bottle after my partner dumped a good portion of it in a chili by accident. It was a pretty serious catastrophe. Sweet fruits and and chocolate in the nose. Heavy body and thick viscous mouth feel. Unique as it should be at the price point.

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle thanks to Suttree. Unsure of the vinatage (not date stamped, 2004?). Pours with a small dark brown head that leaves, covering a solid black body. Alcohol legs left on the side of the glass. Good lacing. Aroma is amazing, alcohol, brandy, chocolate, nuts, raisins, liccorice, soy, cinnamon, vegimite, port, rich, complex and boozy. Taste is, unbelievable, wow! Chocolate and booze decadance, immediatly warming, with a astoundingly long (several minute) duration, with raisins, vanilla, port, and chestnuts in the trailing end. Like a fine chocolaty cognac. Syrupy with light carbonation. If you can drink a fine port you can drink this. Amazing stuff!

Botled 2004.
chocolate, coffee, toast, roasty, leather, alcohol, licorice, raisin, soy sauce, vanilla, smoke, black, hazy, brown foam, heavy cloying sweetness, very bitter, medium sourness, full body, thick feel, soft carbonation, long finish.
This beer is close to perfection, the alcohol level is very well balanced.
Thanks to Andreas for buying this masterpiece at Oliver Twist in Stockholm.

Sep 29, 2008 Dark rich and the alcohol is so high it seems to lift and brighten the flavors. I’ve shared 2 bottles over the past month, consistant notes, 2007 version. Unique aroma and dark fruits, wood, richness and like nothing else I’ve ever had.
