bager (2027), Copenhagen N, Denmark Jul 22, 2008 Bottle. Pours blackwith a brown head. Notes of chocolate, coffee, thin body, light hoppy. Unbalanced, uninteresting and quite boring. Miksu (1205), Jyväskylä, Finland Jul 3, 2008 0.5 l bottle. Pitch black color with creamy tan head. Roasty aroma with perfumed alcohol, coffee, grainy notes and hint of floral hops. Strong roasty flavor with coffee, charcoal and mentholy bitterness. A bit too roasty, gets rough towards finish. Ethereal (758), London, Greater London, England Jul 2, 2008 Bottle at Chris_O’s 19th April 2008 tasting. Pours an opaque black with a line of tan head. Extremely smooth with a very sweet flavour - fruit notes complement the coffee and roasted malt flavours well. The aroma is similar. Good stuff. gunnfryd (2683), Kristiansand, Norway Jul 1, 2008 Bottle. Black colour with a tan head. Aroma is sweet, roasted, coffee. Flavour is sweet, roasted, burned, coffee. Nice beer. yngwie (3385), Kristiansand, Norway Jul 1, 2008 Bottle. Looking really good in the glass, with a black body under a nice tan head. Sweetish, roasted, dusty and fruity on the nose, in a strange way. Not sure what causes it, but strange it is. The flavor has some sweetness and a chemical note, along with coffee and burnt flavor. Long, burnt finish. Full-bodied and quite dry. The beer is far from world class, but it’s sure drinkable. (080509)
