| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 15, 2010 Very dark brown with a brown and small, but firm head. Aroma is quite strong and pleasant: dried fruit, coffee, roasted malt, licorice, touch of burnedness. Flavor is sweetish and fruity, licoricey, but also dry and roasty - even slightly burned. Burnedness is not irritating, though, with lots of other flavors to cover it. Almost full-bodied, and smooth despite the slight ashiness and foamy carbonation. A pleasant, roasty and full old ale. markdredge (43), Kent, England

There is some caramel and chocolate flavor, light residual sweetness, but also a yeast presence, both the aroma and flavor. Nothing special. Papsoe (15648), Frederiksberg, Denmark

Dark brown color, small brown head. Aroma of coffee, licorice and cough syrup. Flavor has licorice, roasted malts and coffee. But easier to drink than it sounds. Liquerish palate. Dry, slight sweet touch of sweet licorice. Not much hops. Pleasant.
