Jun 2, 2009 Pours black with a thick one-finger khaki head. Aroma is classic for a dark ale, some roasted malt, a little nutty and a bit of cocoa. Flavor is roasted barley, dark coffee and cocoa that gets stronger in the finish. Aftertaste is baking cocoa bitter, but not overpowering like some others.

May 30, 2009 Bottle@Olympen, Oslo. A fairly dense latte head covering a near-black body with ruddy-brown edges. Dry, powdery cocoa to the nose. Also a scent of milk-chocolate and nuts. Chocolaty malt flavor, light sweet, added by a gentle, earthy bitterness and a hint of coffee ground. Medium body strenght. Oily texture. Malty-bitter, coffee-ish ending. A nice one, elegant and well balanced.

May 29, 2009 From an 11.2oz bottle this baby pours jet black with a dark thin head. Smells of chocolate, malts, and licorice. Tastes of chocolate, smoky malt, nuts and maybe even a little old engine oil... thick, thick beer with a mouthfeel that is unlike most other beers. Great stuff!

May 24, 2009 Dark brown pour with a modest beige tan that dissipates to a transient lace. Roasty aroma tending towards licorice, some caramelized malt in there, too. Flavor nicely melds the bitterness of the roasted malts and the bitterness of hops. Dark fruit, licorice, and hops aromatics meld nicely. The caramel-chocolate underneath that isn’t harmonized into the rest, seems a bit cloying. Medium to full body.

May 18, 2009 Bottled @ Peckham’s Beer Festival. Would not guess this is an old ale. Black colour, tan head. Very stout like. Aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. Flavour has roasted malts, coffee, cream, dark fruits. Nice one.

May 15, 2009 Bottle - 330ml. Pours an opaque black body with low carbonation and a thin, lasting brown creamy head. Superb malty/hoppy aroma with dark chocolate and roasty hints. Alcohol is well hidden. Its sharp, well balanced hoppy taste carries roasty, plummy and cocoa notes. Ends with a long, robust, warming bittersweet finish. Very nice!
