UPDATED: JUN 17, 2013 500ml bottle dated Nov. 2011 served in a snifter at about 53F. A: The beer is dark mahogany in color and poured with almost no head. This soon reduced to abit of film and a thin ring, and left minimal lacing on the glass. S: Strong aromas of roasted malts, dark chocolate, and dark baked bread, along with some hints of dark fruits and a suggestion of berries. Complex, unusual and rather appealing. T: The taste is fairly similar to the smell, but with more dominance of dark roasted malts. Faint, and prefectly acceptable suggestion of some burnt grain. Hints of dark chocolate, smoke, sherry and coffee. M: Medium-bodied. Hurt by a slight astringency and an overly low amount of carbonation. O: This imperial porter is not real strong in terms of ABV, but packs a bold smell and taste that have nicely balanced and complex blends of aromatics and flavors.

330 ml bottle, rated from backlog. Black opaque with tan head. Aroma sweet, of coffee, rye bread, dark chocolate. Taste with coffee, chocolate and liquorice. Nice!

Bottle. Completely opaque black-brown, virtually no head. The aroma of rich chocolate and roasted malt carries several inches at least. Up close it carries a medicinal character. The drink is even more pharmaceutical ... burning with an almost drug-like sting, and a herbal, funky licorice. (#5049, 6/5/2013)

Bottle from Vinmonopolet in Valkendorfsgate, Bergen. Pours a good-looking tar black body with a large, creamy light beige head. Nose is nuts, dry cocoa tones, milk chocolate, hints of coffee liqueur, sweet grains and honey. Taste is sweet grainy caramel and dark chocolate up front, then fading away to salty licorice, coffee and hints of leather. Mid-palate there is a section that kind of breaks off into a slightly watery and metallic feel. Mellow sweet licorice fadeout in the aftertaste. Full body, soft carbonation. Quite nice.

02.06.2013, 0,33l bottle @ home: Nice creamy longlasting head. Aroma is roasted dark malts, roasted coffee, chocolate, lactose, roasted nuts, burnt caramel. Taste is roasted and slightly dry, dark malts, burnt caramel, coffee, bitter chocolate, grass, roasted nuts. Longlasting bitterness, a little dry mouthfeel. Nice one.

Bottle (33cl) from Vinmonopolet (Vika), Oslo. Very dark brown colour, half-inch soft beige head, good retention, leaves a stable thick film. Aroma of roasted malt, salty licorice, smoked wood, coffee. Medium body, soft carbonation. Taste is malty and dry with a pleasant saltiness. Bitter-salty aftertaste.

Flaska. Svart öl med kraftigt moccafärgat skum. A: Kaffe, rågbröd, mörk choklad. S: Där är rågbrödet inte tillmärmelsevist fullt lika framträdande, utan choklad, kaffe, lakrits och brända nötter tar över.

Mörk brun med rött i sig, litet ljus brunt skum som snabbt faller. Doft: Kaffe, choklad/kakao, vanilj, trä, skogsjord, hemmagjord kola. Smak: Kaffe, kakao, bränt trä, persiko paj, skogsjord. -Förkylld när denna intas.-

Bottled 330ml. -from trade with Nisse666, thanks Thomas. Brown/black coloured, medium sized creamy beige head, coffee in the nose. Roasted malt, roasted coffee and bitter chocolate with mild notes of licorice . Also some hint of cocoa in the finish. Quite nice.

Draft at Torst. Pours near black with a beige head. Rich and fudgey, with roasted malts, big fresh rich coffee, a hint of booze in the finish, and faint flowery hops. Solid.
