3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Vollmundig malzig-cremiger Geruch, röstig. Stout-mäßig malzig-cremiger Antrunk. Ab dem Mittelteil hintergründig fruchtig was wohl den Holunder darstellen soll. Nicht süß, sehr passend. Leicht alkoholisch wirkend, bei näherer Betrachtung scheint dies die stärker werdende Fruchtigkeit zu sein. Cremig malziger Abgang milder, harmonisch.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Appearance: charcoal, with dark caramel edges. Aroma: roasted malt, black licorice, dark fruits, caramel. Taste: slightly bitter with notes of chocolate, toffee and black licorice. Finish: lingering sweet black licorice. Notes: Very smooth, syrupy mouthfeel. Didn’t really taste any fruit, mainly the black licorice. Interesting dark ale. Almost stout-like in some characteristics.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
[330ml bottle, Peckhams Stockbridge, Edinburgh] Very attractive deep red pour, with a thin bubbly head that reduces pretty quickly. Toasty nose from the roasted wheat, along with a fruity edge on the aroma. The first thing I got from this was dark chocolate malt, there is some faint tart fruit in there as well, before the warming alcohol finish. Quite nice stuff [09072007]
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a dark medium body with a thick head. Scents of barley, bitter berries and malts come around. The flavor was surprising light for such a dark beer. The berries gave it a bittersweet character around the roastiness of the malts, and a hint of coffee. This beer caught me by surprise and was both very satisfying and drinkable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
200th rating. 330mL bottle in a Trappist glass. Dark brown pour with little head. Roasty nutty aroma. Sweet coffee flavor with hints of fruit. Mild bitter finish but no strong hop flavor. Nicely balanced.
