Jan 6, 2007 Bottle - January 2007. Thanks Omhper for sharing! Black with some ruby hues. Medium to small tan head, retention needs to be improved. Aroma is penetrating fruit, plums, vanilla, rum, very nice. Taste is fruity, slightly acrid, some bitter chocolate, a bit of tobacco and some dark sugar. A hint of earthy hops and rocherfort cheese as it warms. Mouthfeel is medium, a bit drier than most imperial stouts. A nice, warming pint. Enjoyable.

Dec 29, 2006 0,33 l bottle. Almost black with small tan head. Sweetish, malty, roasted and vinous aroma with salty licorice, coffee, dark fruits, juniper, toffee and some charcoal. The same elements continue in the flavor with dryer charcoal finish. Some caramel and just right bitterness. Excellent!

Dec 18, 2006 2003 bottle. Thanks to Madsberg for this one. Refrigerated.
There is just a thin slice of tan head floating above this black oily brew.
Roasted malts, chocolate, coffee and dark caramel in the aroma.
Lightly sweet, moderately bitter with some drying in the finish. The palate is creamy smooth with soft carbonation.

Dec 9, 2006 Pours black with a thick brown head. Sweet smoky aroma. Flavor of chocolate, roasted malt and a touch of fruit... Thick and oily feel, leaves a nice bitter finish. Another quite fine IS from Sweden, got this one along with Slottskällans from my friend.

Dec 8, 2006 330ml bottle. Black brown-tinged body. Missing head. Rich smell of roasted coffee beans and liquorice. Full-bodied plummy taste with some other kinds of dark fruits. Lingering aftertaste of yeasty bitterness. A solid brew that worked well as a dessert during a dinner party at Oliver Twist in Stockholm(01.12.2006).

Dec 5, 2006 On bottle 0,33l at Oliver Twist, Stockholm 1 Dec 2006. Completely black. A tiny brown head. Sweet malty aroma. Rich flavour of coffee with fruity hints. A lasting aftertaste with a mixture of coffee and roastedness. Well rounded.

Dec 3, 2006 (03 thanks Springslicker) As close to black as you can get. An aroma of light alcohol and chocolate. A dry chocolate flavor with just a hint of a sweet finish. I know thats odd but that’s what I got. A light hint of coffee. A mouthfeel that is slightly grainy but good. A very good beer.
