Thanks to zeke626 for sharing. Opaque Black almost motor oilish, small amount of light brown head Roasted malt with a hint of coffee and chocolate. Mildly hoppy and sweet. Alcohol is very well hidden. Roast malt and chocolate were present in the finish. It was smooth and thick and felt moderately heavy on the palate. Very enjoyable. My second favorite Nøgne Ø beer!

Jul 26, 2008 Good, but not great imperial stout, poured a deep black hue with a brown head that had nice retention. Aroma seemed of just coffee notes. Flavor was a bit more complex with a little more sweetness to it then i expected. A nice dry and creamy finish.

Jul 18, 2008 black pour with a deep espresso head. thick roasted malts, chocolate and a slight hint of coffee on the nose. this beer is very thick on the palate with huge roasted malts and a very sweet chocolate flavor that pair quite well with the dried fruits.

Jul 15, 2008 Deep black pour with a ring of brown head. Aroma of smoke, dark chocolate, roasted grain and malt, coffee and dark fruit. Lots of great flavors, following pretty closely with the aroma. A bit of hops and warming alcohol on the finish. A really big, beautiful brew!

Jul 14, 2008 500 ml bottle shared with Lubiere (merci!), served cool in a goblet. BB21.03.11.
App.: Very dark brown-black, remnants of a mocha head.
Aroma: Worcestershire sauce – briny, savoury, meaty; very smoky (like a Rauchbier), a bit of chocolate, coffee and fruit, metallic, huge.
Palate: Medium+ body and moderate carbonation.
Flav.: Enormous! Massive gobs of figs, raisins, and dried fruits, smoky French-roasted coffee and dark chocolate, a touch metallic, some alcohol, huge and thick and oily, sticks around for a long time.
Massive and beautifully executed.
