Taste is sweet,has some coffee and fruitiness. Good beer. gnoff (2831), Göteborg, Sweden Sep 28, 2008 (50 cl bottle at Café 3 Små Rum) On September 27, 2008 Clear dark copper color, fluffy tan head. Malty, sweet, caramel taste. Moussy mouthfeel, low bitterness. Beershine (1440), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Sep 24, 2008 Bottle @ smokeless. Truly black with beige head, gorgeous looks, grandma doily lacing. Unyielding nose is earthy, almost ashen. Solid, smooth body. Silky, low carbonation. Nice sweet peat melange of flavors. A tasty mix of smoke, peat, and sturdy malts. Oakes (6979), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Sep 24, 2008 Slightly hazy dark brown. Thin, bubbly head. Mushroomy nose with light chocolate, coffee accents. Earthy, slightly roasty and largely chocolatey flavour. Full, creamy body. Accents of oats. Clean, with some late caramel and a relatively sweet finish. kmacphail (37), Isle of Lewis, Scotland Sep 22, 2008 Tried from the bottle having purchased from the local Tesco. The beer poured very dark with a head that disapeared quickly. The smell of roast oats, I felt it wasn’t sweet enough to be malts, with a faint hint of coffee and a faint spicy, fruity smell. This theme continued through to the taste but there was a slight bitterness possibly berries or bitter figs, I was worried this would be too sweet but this balanced it out well. A fine pint that I personally would have again.
