sayravai (4655) - Helsinki, FINLAND - SEP 20, 2008
(Bottled, 25cl, room temp) Black with a big-bubbly, beige head. Aroma of strongly roasted malt, some ash, alcohol presence evident, syrup, some licorice, saltiness. Very roasted-color-malty, but somewhat balanced with sweet, syrupy maltiness. Strongly warming, whisky-like alcohol, black coffee, some tannins. Long, ashy-burned aftertaste. Quite full-bodied - yet strangely thin, leaning towards hard liquours. Low carbonation. Sure, it has lots of flavor and aroma, but also too much ashiness and alcohol burn for me.

yespr (25979) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - SEP 17, 2008
25 cL bottle. Pours pitch black with a huge creamy chocolate brown head. Slowly collapsing in big bubbles. Aroma is mild whiskey to a solid roasted malt and smooth chocolate aroma. Whiskey flavoured through another imperial stout variant of hard roasted malt, chocolate, mild bitterness and sweet - etc etc. Good evening sipper.

Skinnyviking (5956) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - SEP 17, 2008
Bottle. High creamy and good looking brown head that unfortunatlely is disappearing quite quickly. Body of course black as the night. Coffee cocoa hops wood alcohol aroma. Alcohol though quite subdued. Flavor pretty carbonated coffee liquorice cocoa hops weed whisky, strong good and very long lasting. I would not have guessed the high alcohol percentage. To bad the botlle is only containing 25 cl.
