Mar 8, 2009 Drunk to celebrate my rating number 12,400. A pitch black beer with a huge dark brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of alcohol as well as lighter notes of ginger, coriander, coffee, and cocoa. The flavor is sweet and very roasted and spicy - especially coriander, but also notes of alcohol and lighter notes of cocoa, leading to a dry cocoa and roasted finish. The alcohol is felt both on the tongue and palate, and lingers for a long time.

Oct 22, 2008 75 cL bottle. Pours dark brown to black with a dense light brown head. Aroma is spiced, complex yet with a clear annis seed note. Flavour is mild smoked and and roasted malty with a light spice note. Chocolate malty too. Light cinnamon on the back of the tongue. Lasting coriander and smooth chocolate finish. Light bitterness to a vague acidic note into the far finish. Main impression however is the chocolate smoothness and light complimenting spice notes.

Dec 21, 2008 It is a black beer with a red hue and the head is dense and creamy. The aroma has notes of chocolate, light dark fruit and light spice. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of roasted malt, plum and other fruits, light alcohol, chocolate, licorice, spice and the finish is slightly dry. It is remarkably delicious. The previous years it has been wonderful, but this year I hear the angels sing. Damn, now I have to buy some more for Christmas eve...
