Bottled. An almost black beer with a huge and persistent light brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, with notes of chocolate, but also coffee and a good, maybe excessive amount of hops. The flavour has big coffee notes and chcolate, licorice and hops. good roastiness and light acidity. Medium body, lively carbonation, medium/long finish with light to medium bitterness. A good beer, not extreme for the style.

Aug 24, 2008 Personal rating number 1800! Bottle. Roast nose with a big nutty component, light smoke and salty dubbel zout licorice. Rich fruity esters as it warms, along with deeper chocolate. Pitch pour with a short, light brown head. Taste is all dark roast, a bit of cocoa and lactose in with light prickly hops. Nuts. Light initial bitterness; thereafter, steadily increasing, rich dark chocolate. Not as salty as expected. Generally a very smooth mouthfeel with a dry smoked aftertaste. Medium-full body and again, really creamy. Faint blackcurrants but no figs or raisins, and really no coffee, either. Alcohol is hidden by a true master - no trace. Smooth, classy, very enjoyable!
