3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 dj (438) - - NOV 13, 2010
Bottle, 330ml. Black in colour with almost no head. Aroma of roasted barley and malt. A fairly burnt taste with barley, oats, roasted malt and a little hoppy citrus. Maybe some chocolate notes in there with a little imagination. Not a bad brew, but I’d be happier if it had something to balance out the burnt notes that dominate.

Poured dark brown-black with one finger of frothy tan foam. Beautiful thick looking beer. The aroma had a rich sweetness of milk and sugar and plenty roasted malt flavors going on as well. A nice malt presence was felt immediately in the taste. Intense, but still smooth. A little bit of chocolate sweetness and maybe some stone fruits. Very drinkable for a relatively heavy bodied beer with good carbonation. Wow, I could do this one again soon.

3.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 Jado (53) - Camp Hill, AUSTRALIA - MAY 29, 2012
From 330 ml bottle. It pours a solid black with a brown head. Vanilla, coffee and chocolate are evident on the nose. The taste has more chocolate and deep roast malt with a slight smoky note. Maybe a bit surprising but for all the big flavours, the beer is remarkably well-rounded. The palate goes on for a mile too. Very nice.

Pours pitch black with a small tan head. Roasted coffee aroma. Soft mouthfeel. The taste seems a bit neutral to me. It also goes away quickly without leaving an aftertaste. Very drinkable beer.

De color negro y espuma marron poco densa pero persiatente, tiene mucho cuerpo como duce su nombre parece aceite de motor. Aromas, predominan las roasted malts y las notas cafetosas y achocolatadas, encuentro toques a pan recien hecho. Sabor cafetosos y chocolate con sabores mas dulces para teminar con un toque de amargor de lupulo
