Dark brown. Roasty nose, lots of chocolate and licorice. Wonderful flavour, unbelievably yummy. Richly hoppy with notes of chocolate and slightly licoricy.

Namnet känns som en klyscha av en klyscha och etiketten ser ut som ett samarbete mellan Samhall och en new age-förening (det sägs att det är två skilda saker, att det inte är en "kärt barn har många namn"-situation, men jag vet då inte). Ovidkommande petitesser? Ja, men det är den enda kritik jag har att komma med. Man tager vad man haver.

Bottle. (old notes) Dark brown, almost black with a medium brownish head. Aroma and taste of roasted malt, coffee and something sweet. Rather bitter and with a long aftertaste.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with off-white head. Malty aroma. Malty, smoky flavour.

UPDATED: MAR 1, 2012 Bottle. Almost black colour with a medium white head. A lot of roasted malt in the aroma. Complex flavour, fruity, roasted barley, caramel.

Bottle. Clear chestnut, almost black, with a big tanned compact head that leaves a crater in the glass. Big sweet malty aroma with lots of chocolate, dark bread, syrup, butter, some sweet licorice and nice grassy hops. Taste is sweet and rich with chocolate, crisp bread, caramel, coffee, berries, vanilla and a nice grassy bitterness. Medium to bigger body with soft carbonation. Very rich and nice and, like someone said, almost porter like.

On tap at Akkurat, Stockholm. Almost black color with medium white head. Roasted malt, chocolate and coffee in aroma. Taste, coffee, chocolate, bitter hops, some fruits. Long bitter finish. Nice. Early rating from 7/2009.

Draught @ Man in the Moon, Stockholm. Rated on 14.05.2011
Aroma has roasted malt and some coffee. Flavour has roasted malt, some licorice, chocolate and coffee. Very good and tasty, more stout than schwartz.

Bottle @ Grövelsjöns Fjällstation. An old friend that has been absent for a while (at least in Stockholm). A huge beer. Big creamy head, off-white. Colour of deep read wine, almost black. Citrus aroma with malts lurking underneath. A lot of malt in the body with some caramel icing on top. Medium-small carbonation. A nicely balanced bitter ending. Delicious mouth-feel and entirely drinkable. As I said, an old friend.

Mörk, närmast svart. Stor doft av choklad och rostad malt. Smaken är fruktig med mycket choklad, rostade porterliknande syrliga toner, len, krämig och med en medelstor beska som avrundning. Välbalanserad, lättdrucken och ett öl som passar i många sammanhang. Konstigt att den inte ingår i systemets ordinarie sortiment. Svårt att tänka på någon bättre öl som liknar denna. Åtminstone ingen svensk.

Bottle 50 cl, Sir Winston, Östersund. Pours pitch black with a light brown head leaving lace. Aroma is roasted, malty, hay, smokey and fruity. Big roasted body; acidy, fresh, hoppy, fruity and slightly sweet flavor. Finishes bitter roasted.
