Bottle. Poured very dark with a big head that seemed to have two layers with the one top being more creamy and a bit lighter in color. Aroma is malty, with a hints of chocolate, though I probably expected just a bit more depth of it. Flavor is malty at first than chocolaty. It slowly builds up to finish with a hint of caramel. Very deep beer that deserves its ratings. I was really impressed.

does not count  Sep 5, 2008 Nice light brown head. Brown sugar is the dominant bouqet. Flavour is as expected: Coffee, chocolate, sligthly bitter with a noticable alcohol taste that spoils the beer experience to some extent More interesting than good.

Sep 5, 2008 Pitch black pour with a healthy smooth finger of milk chocolate head. Roasty chocolate aroma with some alcohol present. Smooth roastiness transitions effortlessly into hop and chocolate bitterness with a lingering roasted finish.

Aug 31, 2008 Black color with a nice brown head. Aroma: Highly roasted malt, licorice, dark chocolate, coffee, hops, alcohol, and some light notes of dark fruit.
Flavor: Heavily roasted/burned and bitter with notes of espresso,salmiak, tar, dark chocolate and alcohol. Some sweetness but mostly on the roasted and bitter side. Dry finish. Probably even better after storing for a while.
