4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/2050cl bottle thanks to Nikolai. Pours opaque black with a nice crema head. The nose has a hint of charcoal, maybe some marmalade on a background of chocolate. The taste has a real chocolate liqueur thing with a prunes in alcohol, maybe orange liqueur encased in chocolate. Cherries, too! The palate is full bodied with a big smooth texture and a long elegant finish.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Kaatuu lasiin tummancolanvärisena ja sameana, vaahto on nopeasti katoavaa, pientä ja vaaleaa. Haju on hieman paahteinen, punaviinimäinen käyneen marjainen, mausteinen ja hyvin kotikaljamainen. Maku on käyneen kotikaljainen, kuivatun hedelmäinen ja marjainen. Suutuntuma on ohuehko, humalan katkeruuttakaan ei tunnu. Kokonaisuutena ei mitenkään erikoinen olut, mutta mukavasti juotava ja alkoholi on hyvin piilossa.

On tap @ Henrik. This is a deep dark brown one - some redness shining through when holding it against the light and it a small sidesticking beige tip. Nice spicy non-extreme aroma with mint and star anise, Christmas decoration and some cocoa. Nice stuff. It has a silky smooth mouthfeel this with a small prickling carbonation level. I have to say impressive. So, the taste has more mint and star anise. Cocoa nibs with dark sweet caramel and candied sugar. Quite tasty this. No traces of the ABV. Chocolate paper traces in the lightly mouthdrying finish. Enjoyable. 08.12.2012

Cherry flavor of taste and smell is pretty strong. The aftertaste is the same. But I do not really know if I like or dislike this beer. This is very difficult to rate.
