Traded bottle, date unknown but I’d guess I’ve easily had it over a year or more. Nice dark brown pour with a foamy tan head that settles with nice lacing. Pretty nice aroma of sweet milk chocolate, vanilla and a hint of dark roasted malt. Velvety smooth mouthfeel. So easy drinking it could become addictive quickly.

Bouteille 341mL. Brune foncee, mousse legere. Nez de fumee, noix de coco, cacao et vanille. Cremeuse en bouche avec des saveurs de moka, chocolat noir et legere vanille. Bien fait, mais pas mon genre.

Black pour with small tan bubbles. Aroma of coffee, malt and cocoa. Taste of cocoa, chocolate and slight vanilla. Cocoa in the aftertaste that lingers. Nice carbonation and mouthfeel.

Draught (Bishops Arms, Folkungagatan, Stockholm) - Very dark brown, almost black, with a tan head. Vanilla, chocolate and malt in the aroma. Smooth taste with notes of vanilla, milk chocolate and roasted malt. Easy to drink.

Chocolate, malts and a hard to describe slight spiciness in aroma and flavor in this ale. The ales from this brewery are always unique and usually very good, this one doesn’t disappoint.

rate number 200! bottle. pours medium thick black. aroma of chocolate and vanilla. taste is just wonderful almost like a great chocolate cake.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker. Pours coal black with very small light brown head. Little lacing, medium carbonation, thick body, and light coffee aroma. Taste is roasted malt, chocolate, some vanilla, and some hops in the finish.

November, 2011 ;6.5% abv, 341 mL bottle, BBD: I’ve been told 2 years from production, which was January, 2011, refrigerated, pint glass. Old Rate. Aroma of dark rum with roasty cocoa, and sweet molasses and vanilla. Pours a black with a brown head which is fairly thin, 0.5 cm and which is very silky. Very complex taste. Vanilla hits very quickly among sipping and seems to disappear with the bitter mixture of roasty dark chocolate and coffee, almost smokey. Almost viscous with a very mild carbonation. FInishes with a strong cocoa bitterness. I wish it was a little creamier. Strong flavours which are hard to decipher if unready (me). Glad I have a couple more bottles.
