Pours completely black with a small, creamy, beige film head. Aroma is smoky, roasted, dark chocolate, cocoa and a touch of liqourice. Low carbonation, impressive creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, roasted, very dry and lightly smoky. Chocolate finishes it off great with some bitterness. Very nice.

Bottle. [Beer festival 2009] This was a pleasant surprise. Large beige creamy head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Black color. Aroma of roasted malt, liquorish, mild smoke, wood dry feel, light coffee and chocolate. Quite full bodied with an average carbonation and somewhat dry light alcoholic texture. Moderated to almost heavy sweet and bitter flavor in balance. Lingering roasted malty finish.
