3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/2009.01.13. Bottle. Large brown foam. Black beer. Crazy aroma; liquorice, vanilla and all kinds of other stuff. The anis is noticeable once I read the label. The aroma is nice. Taste is bitter, some herbs, wee bit smokey. Low carbonation and quite creamy mouthfeel. Aftertaste is very dark, burnt coffee and long.
Interesting, challenging beer. I think I would rather have a porter without all the extra stuff in it.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Una imperial stout veramente tosta. Nera totale con schiuma molto persistente, aroma di cioccolato e spezie, al palato sentore di cioccolata, caffè e liquirizia, retogusto di china. Una birra certamente impegnativa in perfetto abbinamento a carne arrosto e verdure stufate.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Rich, fruity aroma. Coffee and grain flavour. Seriously good stuff. Rich, creamy, chocolate, leading into tar and wood, but not rally crossing over. Complex yet very likeable.
3.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Det här är en alldeles angenäm ölserie som amn alltid ser fram emot när julen nalkas. Smaken är välbalanserad med mycket kryddiga,rostade och syrliga inslag. Kroppen är lite liten och jag är osäker på om det är lagringsrelaterat? I vilket fall var det en mycket trevlig upplevelse.

Malty, roasted nose with coffee, treacle, chocolate, liquorice and spices (anise, cinnamon, clove). Roasted, malty, spicy taste with notes of coffee, treacle, brown sugar, dark rye bread, chocolate, liquorice and anise. Spicy bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a slight sweetness. Very tasty and quite spicy, but still nicely balanced. Very nice beer.

Opaque black beer. Small frothy brown head. Quite a fruity nose - apples and oranges. Malt too. Light palate, slightly dry. Tangy malt and fresh fruit that matches the nose - light appley orange. Malt returns before the finish and provides subtle unsweet chocolate and some dryness. Unusually fruity for a porter. Tasty beer!
