Big roasty, chocolate, coffee nose. Very sweet, lots of chocolate, lots of caramel and toffee, dark fruit, decent oak, etc. Nothing special.

bottle courtesy of deflagro, thanks buddy! pours very black, nice head with a bit of cascading, looks like jagermeister with foam. aroma of licorice, rubber clothing, booze and chocolate, smells like jagermeister. taste is rich and salty, has a tingly aftertaste, like blood. or jagermeister. thick, coating mouthfeel, very syrupy, sweet and bitter at the same time, like jagermeister. aftertaste almost tastes just like jagermeister. damn good stuff, feel like going outside on a cold night naked with this stuff.

It’s highly carbonated, it pours black as coal with a huge beige head. Roasted malt aroma, liquorice, wood, light vanilla, smoke, cardboard and light sourness. The mouthfeel surprises for it’s smoothness; excellent combination of chocolate and roasted malt flavor, almost perfect, silky and powerful, with a minimal roasted malt sourness. The final is still powerful and balanced, a bit salty, and never too alcoholic. Excellent.

Papsoe you rock my friend. Black pour. Brown head. Aroma is ashy, really ashy. Charcoal. Meat and tires!(yes). Flavor is a bit sweet with tons of ash, chocoloate, coffee, peat, salami(yes). What a unique and delicious brew!

(25cl bottle) Pours an opaque black body that coats glass like oil and has a small creamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and wood. Flavor of roasted malt, chocolate, light vanilla, and coffee with a dry finish. Excellent!
