can, kindly delivered by Schroppfy! Deep black colour, large beige head. Aroma of caramel and chocolate. Very full-bodied, lots of chocolate and raisins, plums, cocoa powder... Very nice.

Alkoholisch-süßer Geruch, etwas nach Soja. Dunkel malziger, etwas süßer Antrunk, brotig werdend. Der Alkohol ist nur leicht erkennbar, was zum harmonischen Gesamteindruck beiträgt. Dunkel malziger Abgang. Harmonisch, aber nicht sehr abwechslungsreich. Test vom 4.11.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,10,9,10,8,10 - 9,65

UPDATED: MAY 19, 2011 It is back and it is exactly how a BP is supposed to taste. Wow, the big raisiny sweetness, some chocolate, some wood, wine-like. Flavor is strong, moderately-to-heavily sweet, almost no bitterness, touch of sourness. Aroma is wood and buttered burnt plums and roast. Equal to the best of the Polish BPs.

Bottle. Creamy lightbrown good mostly lasting head. Dark red-amber colour. Heavy malty and moderate hoppy aroma. Some roast. Moderate bitter flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Creamy palate.

Bottle from Poland. Nice head with good duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are rich licorice, chocolate and caramel.

0,5 l bottle as a gift.
Deep brown near black ruby beer with a nice creamy and foamy tan head that melt down to a small lacing one. Smell roasty and fruity, mild alcoholic-liqueric perfume. Dark chocolate, burnt woods some vanilla. Wow. Medium bodied one with a surprisingly well hidden alcohol. Fine roasted grains, sweet caramel and molasses, dark chcolate and burnt woods, dried fruits like raisins and plum. Wow, it was delicious!

Can at chris o’s teabag for 2009 tasting. Alround rating: Very roasty, bready wert, loads of raw alcohol, im very very suprised to see this anything like this highly rated.

A Mes rate. Can at Chris O’s pre NYE tasting. Chris’s tastings are so awesome that something has to be really amazing or utterly vile to stand out from the crowd. Sadly, this was in the latter category. Judging by the rates here there may well have been something a little big wrong with this one but all I can do is call it as I taste it. I agree with Ian about the foot bath but someone with a serious case of foot fungus has been paddling in here. It’s utterly rancid and one of the worst smelling beers I have had. Rich treacle flavour with a roasty finish is pretty poor too in all honesty but it’s a considerable improvement on the aroma. Bad bad bad smelling beer.

Can at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Smells of foot bath of a swimming pool. Does settle down a bit. Some choc, some hot alcohol. It’s a bit turgid. Some biscuit.
