Bottled (from Irma near Tivoli, Copenhagen). Deep brown colour with small beigeish brown head. Aroma is coffee, roast and mild notes of caramel malts. Flavour is malts, ashes, caramel and some smoked wood. A bit grassy in the finish.

Dark-brown with lively light- brown foam. Smell of coffee, Taste of bitter full-bodied coffee. Not that bad, actually quite good but aftertaste is nothing spetacular

Big head, slowly shrinking to nothing. Aroma of dark chocolate and coffee. Smooth mouthfil emphasized with hops and wort, smoke and firy forrest. Bittersweet. Well worth a try.

Bottle, bought @ Irma, Magasin, Aarhus.
Pours ddep muddy black-brown with a small, creamy, beige head. Aroma is sweet, light berries, roasted malts and a bit of fruity tartness. Soft carbonation, light dry mouthfeel. Flavour has chocolate, softly roasted malts, rather sugary sweetness, a bit of blackberries with light tartness. Okay.

UPDATED: SEP 10, 2008 Botella. Pours a black colour with a short head, good lacing. Aroma of soft roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Rather thin mouthfeel. MIld roasty maltiness in the flavour along with chocolate, some coffee and a mild bitterness. Mild dry roasty finish. Rather simple stout. The best thing about drinking it was the fact that I was sitting in front of the fireplace at the same time.

pours brown, settles black with a giant thick brown head. head settles after a while aroma is roasted malts and herbal spicec, think herbal tea??, flavor is roasted malts, not much sweetness, not much else than roasted malts actually. a bit weak for a stout, but not bad. just kinda dissapointing. will let it warm a bit to see if that gets things going. warmer mouthfeel and flavor is rounder. good dark beer,just not good as a stout.

Bottle. Aroma with roated malt, coffee and slightly smoked. Colour dark brown with light brown head. Sweet flavour with coffee, chocolate and malt. Slight bitterness in the end.
