The_Jester (465), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Feb 13, 2008 330 mL bottle. (Best before March ’09). Very dark chestnut brown with a ring of brown head. Lots of roast in the aroma, but no acidity or bitterness. There is roast in the flavour as well, along with some semi-sweet chocolate and a little dark fruit. Slight bitterness at the finish, although it’s as much from the roast as the hops. Quite smooth and creamy. Lightly carbonated, and a medium to full body. Great name, decent beer. I expected a little more bite and complexity.
MiP (4937), Flensburg, Germany Aug 20, 2008 Bottle, 6%. Nicely bready, slightly roasted aroma. Black colour, small stable light brown head. The flavour is very nice, roasted and nutty, slightly sweet. Low carbonation, creamy mouthfeel. Mitch_Wayne (90), Kokkola, Finland Aug 20, 2008 Roasted dark chocolate aroma, roasted malty taste with some liquorice, some dryness in the end. Suprisingly light all things considered but very pleasant. There is a time and a place for beer like this. JK54B (277), Finland Aug 18, 2008 A 0.33L bottle from Alko shop. Dark brown colour.
