Sampled at BDR’s tasting and shared by akevitt. Pours a semi-clear dark brown brew with a good sized beige head that has some nice retention and spotty lacing. Aroma of roasted dark malts, some chocolate, licorice, and a touch of dark pitted fruit and citrus zest. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of roasted dark malts, dark pitted fruits, and a touch of dried yeast. Finish is semi-sweet with a mild chocolate and roasted dark malt after taste.

A dark clear brown ale with a thick moka head, well carbonated. Interesting aroma of chocolate and leather, very animal. In mouth, a wallop of a brown ale, with bitter chocolate, coffee, caramel malts, grapefruits, licorice, with a rich oily mouth feel. Like eating 90% cooking chocolate. Bieropholie import, BB 12-03-09
