COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
For 2007 the brewers have selected a blend of 7 malts and 7 hops to create our unique annual limited release. When you decide to open this, you will notice a pitch black ale that pours with small brown head. The aroma is full of citrusy and floral notes, not only from the hops added from the boil but also the hops added after fermentation, the dry hop stage. Finally, one taste of this years beer and you will understand why it is so dark, roasted chocolately and malty flavors are abundant from the various dark malts that make up so much of the recipe. It is extremely limited, extremely strong and extremely original, because as we like to say around here "Its all about extremes!"

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAR 14, 2010
Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of tertons. Pours black with a tint of red and hardly any head - low fill. Aroma has lots of alcohol and cough syrup. Solid body, hard roasted malts and chocolate with quite some malt bitterness in the finish. Has a vague oxidized edge. But quite pleasant. 140310

CapFlu (3767) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 27, 2010
(22oz bottle) The whole neck is void of liquid?!?!? And thus its flat. Aroma of Sam Adams Triple Bock. Very soya sauce and burnt brown sugar. Thin, no carbonation. Was far too liquid in the bottle and therefore had an oxidized taste. Poor.

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 17, 2010
Low fill - and it shows. Pours muddy brown and flat. Unattractive. The aroma is strong, showing ample oxidation. That has rounded into soy sauce, vague toffee, and sherry. Like a thin SA 3Bock. Toasty, with light milk chocolate. Has a bit of alcohol. The body is thin and the oxidation is perhaps a bit too much.

j12601 (4171) - Poughkeepsie, New York, USA - FEB 6, 2010
Bottle that Justin brought to a little impromptu tasting with other work people. Pours a still jet black without any head on it. Smells great with lots of vanilla, smooth chocolate. Very sweet, candied plums, prune, almost a vegetal note. Rather flat. No real bitterness, just a lot more sweetness at the end.

Travlr (4540) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - JAN 12, 2010
Bottle at first DC tasting of 2010. Dark maroon color with no head and no lacing. Aroma of alcohol and phenols, with toffee, vanilla and roasted chestnuts. Flavor of creamy chocolate, but alcohol shows through. Nicely complex. Nicest of the three Newports tasted (07, 08 and 09), but more subtle alcohol would help this one out.
