| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 9, 2008 Pours black with a medium tan head. Smell is mildly roasty and lightly chocolately and caramel and ash. Taste is smooth roastiness and a bit creamy, but still thin bodied for the style. Nice and lightly hoppy to go along with the dark roasty flavor. Pretty good, and not the letdown I feared after having the Nils Oscar Barley Wine.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 1, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Thin, burnt astringent black malt and plastic/chemical nose, all of the chocolate malt and roast is buried beneath this terrible astringency and chemical cleaner character. Flavor is a bit flat, a bit thin - moderate roast, some more cleaner/fluid flavors, light chocolate. Ultimately the body is just too weak and the roast is too weak. Against the grain big time for me. uhre (339), Denmark

Liquorice, coffee and smoke in the aroma with a nice roasty bitterness in the flavour like sweetened mokka. I must admit though, I am not blown away... ehhdayton (1113), USA
