May 19, 2009 Updated: Jul 22, 2009I thought this would be my first 4.9. Shit. Yet another product of nbutler11’s weasel farm. Opens with a glossy aroma of dark chocolate brownie, date, ephemeral alcohol. Color is such that light gives it no apparent color, even at the edges. Head is cream and eventually dissipates. Flavor is a laundry list: cream, amaretto, hazelnut, almond give way to and meld with light fruit, milk chocolate, espresso, more brownie. The whole thing is packaged by the wine yeast and this really does sit and fume as if it were a chocolate coffee wine. It misses a perfect score because there is a very plain residue that this beer imparts: the same tar-ish thick nastiness of Mikkeller Black lingers and threatens to interfere with flavors. Ultimately, it improves the aroma, but interferes with the experience of the beer.

May 9, 2009 Bouteille 500ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur noire et opaque. Nez de malt très rôti, de café noir, de chocolat noir, moyen d’alcool, de fruits (moyen de raisins aux petites notes vineuses, notes de cerises noires), léger de mélasse, de réglisse noire et de houblon herbeux ainsi que des notes de noix et de crème. Ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture riche sirupeuse et légèrement huileuse. Goût fruité (raisins, notes de cerises noires, traces de dattes) accompagné d’un léger goût de réglisse noire, des notes de crème et de tabac lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute très rapidement un goût amer de malt très rôti (traces brûlées), de chocolat noir, moyen-léger de mélasse. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve un goût d’alcool réchauffant tout au long de la gorgée ainsi qu’un goût de café noir qui se développe pour être très dominant en finale avec la présence de houblon herbeux asséchant et de notes de noix. Post-goût long et moyennement sec, amer de rôti, d’alcool, de café, de chocolat noir, moyen de houblon herbeux et de fruits (moût de raisins vineux et de cerises) ainsi que des petites notes de fumée de bois.

This beer for me comes in too big a bottle. It almost demands to be shared. Id love this in a 250ml like Narke Kaggen as then i could open one on my own and slowly sip and savour this to it full potential. While i find this beer stunning id struggle to finish this bottle....

Apr 15, 2009 (50cl bottle, # 05108) Black coloured hue with a brown foamy head of medium size. Moderately sweet, strong roast-malty aroma with light notes of mocha, raisins, licorice and alcohol. Surprisingly sweet flavour, full bodied with a calm carbonation. Roast-malty taste with licorice, mocha and an almost vinous raisin-fruity touch. Sweet and slightly burnt-bitter finish with a warming alcoholic touch. Strong and pleasant (09.IV.09).

Apr 14, 2009 Bottle (#01369). Thick black body. Almost no head at all, but the colour was brown before it vanished. Heavy complex aroma. Malty, roasted, spicy. Flavour is really heavy, a little sweet, but relatively dry. Much malt, sweet berries, coffee. A roasted bitter and sweet finish. Too heavy for me, but interesting. Another bottle is stored. Will be interesting to see how it develops. (At home, 14.03.09)
