Apr 14, 2006 (Bottle 65 cl) Pours a very dark brown - close to black - with a creamy, off-white head. Alcoholic, vinous nose. Full-bodied with roasted malt and accents of dried fruit - raisins in particular. Sweetish and without any greater bitterness. Lovely. Tasted at the Oklahoma Beer tasting March 06 hosted by <i>mjames</i> and <i>lilannie</i>. 250306

Jul 7, 2003 Dark brown with orange-red highlights. Big rich, chewy aroma. Loads of burnt fruit, nuts, apple...a fruitcake basically. Palate is thick and loaded with earthy, nutty malts. Very warming. Slight tartness late from all the black malt. Complex. This is my first from this cult favourite brewery, and I look forward to more.

Jul 5, 2005 Nice slowly fading light brown head with tiny sharp lacing. Deep dark brown hue, close to black, opaque. Very roasty nose, this seems to be the beer’s main focus. Sweet toffee perfumes are rich yet mellow. Mostly chocolatey flavours, but they come with nuance, desserty, creamy with several dark fruit notes. Complex. No alcohol presence whatsoever, the dark chocolates are everything, mellow in every sense of the word, it feels much lighter than it is, you decide if that’s a good thing. The hops are easy going, greenish. Burnt caramel enlaces evolving fruit impressions, passing by dates, grapes and figs. Not the most impressive example to blow my mind, but I dig the balance. Moderately carbonated, medium bodied. Fine fine beer, but only above average impy.
