Sep 24, 2009 Updated: Nov 4, 2009Dark as tar and very opague. Lots of hops, some malt and plenty of alchol. I smell mead or at least some honey. Very aromatic and very complex. Taste is very full on. Super hop bitterness. Plenty of alcohol and some malt characters. Very complex palate. Got better as it warmed. Dead flat but very rich in the mouth. Definitely an aquired taste and given the alcohol you certainly couldn’t drink a lot of it. Very much an experience.

Sep 22, 2009 Bottle, SBWF. As Mikkeller wrote, "Not for sissies!"
A powerful beer, beautiful with a sense of port wine, raisins and chocolate. The foam was non-existent and the beer was black.
The body was heavy. The taste was a bit fiery of all alcohol although not unpleasant. Burnt tones, chocolate, fruit, sweet, port wine, smoke, fruit, malt, yes an experience!

Sep 18, 2009 Dark, dark pour with coffee head and coffee nose. Strong forceful flavor with chocolate notes. As you drink, more chocolate flavors take over the coffee. Strong alc after taste - bitter. Very full bodied.
