SAE 20W-50. Impenetratable black, toffee colour creamy head. Aromas like cherry liquer, peat and liquorice allsorts. Smooth toasty chocolate in the mouth, beautiful. This beer is the shit

Bottle. Pour is very dark, slight head that fades pretty quickly. Aroma fits this type of beer but nothing out of the ordinary, and the flavor is ok. beer is worth trying but don’t go out of your way to get it.

33cl Bottle from De Bierkoning. Black colour, beige head. Aroma of tar, peat, smoke, a bit of caramel. Flavour is hard roasted malts, bitter chocolate, tar, coffee and hoppy bitter finish. Soft carbonation, smooth but watery mouthfeel. Light to medium bodied, still full of flavour. Very nice.

Pours pitch black with tan head, and medium body. Nice chocolate and malt flavors. This beer is worth a try.

330ml bottle. Pours pitch black with a tan, quickly disappearing head. Aroma is coffee-ish with sweetness, reminds me of some imperial stouts. Flavor is mainly kinda bitter with some coffee and chocolate underneath. In the bottle it says ’viscous, chocolatey, bitter’ which is basically what this is all about. A good beer nonetheless.

11. 2 oz. bottle. Pours black with slight ruby highlights and a decent sized tan head. Pretty good head retention. Nutty aroma with notes of coffee, dark chocolate, raisins, and a slight vinous note. Medium carbonation with a medium-rich mouthfeel. A little bit viscous. Rich roasted malt notes on the palate with coffee, chocolate, and caramel all playing their part. A little earth and walnut in there too. There is a nice touch of bitterness on the back end to balance out the sweetness. A little bit of smoke and peat come out as the beer warms. Medium-long finish with some lingering bitterness on the tongue. Overall, very well put together with just about everything in balance. Quite sessionable as well.
