(Draught at Olympen, Oslo, 6 Nov 2009) Black colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, espresso, dark bread, cocoa and raisins. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, cocoa, black coffee, dark fruit and a generous cocoa bitterness in the finish. Slightly vinous with a certain alcohol bite. Some wheaty sourness lurks in the background. Full body, balanced sweetness. Complex beer. Very nice!

Flavors of roast, dark bitter chocolate and some creaminess from the wheat malt. Long finish. Deceptively smooth for such a big beer. Excellent with an aged cheddar.

Dec 29, 2009 Huge brown head that diminishes into a film on a black body. Aroma is oak which is also part of the taste. Sweet, bitter with an alcoholic finish. becomes foam in the mouth, but still feels syrupy once it settles. Despite many faults, the overall impressions is pretty good.

Dec 19, 2009 Close to black with a small light brown head. Aroma is fruity with light roasted notes of coffe and chocolate. Flavour is very fruity, "bright" and yeasty with very mellow acidic roasted notes. Has a good bitterness and roasted kick in the finish with lingering fruit notes. Rather mellow and uncomplicated.
