Mar 22, 2009 Bottled. Pours out in an opaque dark brown colour with a white rich head. Rich and warming aroma of figs, coriander, fudge, pepper and yeast. Full-bodied with yeasty, spicy and rather crisp notes of coriander, anise, nutmeg, sweet licorice and fudge. Long warming spicy finish of anise, milky chocolate and coriander. Felt a bit simplistic and un-inspired compared to last years versions. Still tasty.

Jan 23, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a small, off-white head that goes and a murky dark brown body. Some lacing. Aroma of prunes, chocolate, raisins, rum, and plums. Taste is alcohol, prunes, spices, chocolate, nuts and a burnt taste. Somewhat vinous. Warming. A bit thin on the mouth, light carbonation.

Jan 21, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown with decent, dreamy beige head. Sweet, spicy aroma, quite a bit of licorice, but also orange caramel and alcohol. Flavours are even more spicy with a bitter edge, a lot alcohol, somewhat less harmonic than indicated by the nose.

Sep 15, 2009 750, corked, baled, and foiled. Thanks, Maria! Pours essentially jet black with a brief, creamy, beautiful tan head that settles quickly to bits of film, foam, and lace. Lovely rich chocolate, spice, roast, and dust on the nose. Creamy medium body, understated carb, and all the aromatics back in flavorful form on the mid-palate. Nicely done. Tasty beer.

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle @ Volo.
Nose is very malty, spicy and some yeast is noted. Deep brown with a small toffee head. Flavour is a big roasted malt, some pitfruit, and a mild spice too. Medium bodied, very well balanced, alcohol is married with all the other good tastes and textures of this offering, great mouthfeel. Terrific!
