3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 rosenbergh (4664) - Helsinki, FINLAND - MAY 24, 2013
330 ml bottle. BB 28/06/16. (Systembolaget) Östersund, Sweden.
Pitch black colour with a small brown head.
The aroma is roasted malt, dark chocolate, some ash, oat and mild sweetness. The flavour is very strong. There’s roasted malt, hoppy bitterness, ashy dryness, more dryness and some very much burned maltiness. This is very dry and very dark. And it’s very heavy and rich as advertised. Too heavy to be enjoyable.

0.33l bottle. Pitch black body, creamy light brown head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, cream and some dark fruits. Coffee, plums, chocolate in the flavor with a decent floral hoppyness in the finish. Alcohol is a bit too obvious, but I like the full body and the really creamy texture. Awesome beer.
