Bottle. High creamy and quite agressive light brown head. Well this one is black. Odd orange, coffee, caramel, cocoa aroma and something I cannot quite figure out. I does, however, have a herbal note of goodness knows what. Flavor dry hoppy coffee as expected and of course the orange peal is quite dominant. Long bitter finish. Interesting but I don’t quite fancy the aroma.

Pours brown with a large dense beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, light orange, chocolate and liquorish. Flavour is roasted malt, coffee, liquorish, light orange and chocolate.

Bottle from Vinspecialisten, Aalborg. Black with a lasting brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee and oranges. Flavor is quite sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and roasted moderate bitter finish. 070513

(bottle 07/05-2013) large brown head, black color, light roasted aroma, long roasted rather dry taste, fit body. BB date 17/01/16.

Bottle. Pours deep brown with a beige head. Medium roasted malts, hints of chocolate, some faint citric notes, and medium bitterness. Good stuff.

Pours black with a huge light brown head. Smells sweet and burned. Bitter and a fresh fruityness. The taste is first of all pretty burned, but with this yuzu-thing. I would describe it as something between mandarin and grape fruit. A little flowery too. Not like perfume though. Pretty dominant actually. Definately a fresh touch to the genre.

Pours black with a brown head. Aroma of dark roasted sweeter malts, cocoa, chocolate, some dark ripe and sweet fruits. Also some interesting citrus stuff going on. Taste of citrusy fruits, roasted malts, a bit floral, sweeter liquorice, weak hops, cocoa and delicate dry.

Black pour with a mocha head. Roast malt, nice citrusy hop nose, and some coffee. Dark chocolate and cocoa powder aromas, a bit of lemon peel, and some hints of yuzu. Good citrus flavor. Light citric acidity and tartness. Roasted malt, coffee, and dark chocolate. Light bitterness on the finish.

Bottle, 04/29/2013. Pours near black, frothy light tan head with great retention, fades to a nice blanket o the surface, impressive thick lacing. Aroma is daikon salad with yuzu dressing, deeper orange undercurrents, with dark chocolate, porter roastiness. Taste is citrus and yuzu with slight tart edge, nice grapefruit bitterness with sharp dark roast, espresso. Medium palate with clean finish, prickly carbonation accents the flavors. Pretty interesting.

Draft from alewife. Dark thick black. Small head. Malty choc and coffee. I didn’t get much yuzu whatever that tastes like. Good though.
