May 20, 2008 One of my favourites and among the first special beers that made me a beer enthusiast. Black with brown head. Smoky tar, medium mouth feel. reminded me of a Tervaleijona -candy of my childhood.. I think it still exists..

May 19, 2008 Updated: May 23, 2008Black with a medium sized brown head. Restrained roasted dry aroma. Smokey dry roasted flavour, chocolate at finsh, ends too quickly though. Nice full body. Pretty good.

May 14, 2008 330 ml bottle. Colour completely black, with a thin but lasting brownish head. Roasted, a bit smoky aroma with dark chocolate. Full mouthfeel. Flavour is burnt malts, coffee and dark chocolate, with a nice, burnt, hoppy, lingering aftertaste. A very enjoyable beer indeed.

May 9, 2008 Updated: Jun 4, 2008(On tap) A good dark beer. Some bitterness, made of a combination of hop bite and roast. A little complexity. My main complaint is that it for some reason comes across as very thin, almost watery. This thinness is poorly suited to the name this beer has been given. Overall, though, I greatly enjoyed it.

May 6, 2008 -did not like would not but-
Aroma:very mild sweet smoked dark malts. Dry cocoa. App: dark thin black pale tab head. Flavor: eh. This is from a tap. I was wanting more. It is good just a bit thin and not rich. It has a better afte flavor than flavor. Palate: thin and spritzy OA: nice good not great. Needs to be rich! And full! Like old would be.

May 6, 2008 330 ml bottle. Completely black color, lasting tan head. Aroma of sweet roasted malts and coffee. Full body, taste starts with chocolate and rounds off with juicy malt flavor and a lot of coffee. Nice mix of sweetness and bitterness, a very good brew indeed!

May 6, 2008 33cl bottle. A pitch black beer with a fine, fizzy, tan head that deposites a decent lacing before dispersing into a single layer of carbonation. Deep and thicky syrupy aromas with notes of roasted malts and lots of chocolate. The roasted malts come strutting to the forefront when the black liquid hits your tongue, accompanied by its citric hop younger sibling, before softening into liquorice and fresh bread. A subtle, dry bitter chocolate finish. Fairly robust, yet soft on the palate.
