Finish is sweet, bitter and slightly sour with some coffee.

Draught at Bishops Arms Järntorget, Gothenburg. September 3th, 2011.
Pours pitch black with a creamy head. Sweet and rich aromas of chocolate nougat with a big dash of roasted malt. The body is thick but still velvety smooth. Rich creamy flavours of malt, coffee and dark creamy chocolate. Big sweetness.

Mycket kaffe och mycket choklad, nästan lite tjärna också. Man finner en del lakrits. Ganska trevlig öl som man borde prova om man har vägarna förbi.

UPDATED: APR 26, 2011 Black with a small brown shortlived head. Not much lacings. Think i got a sloppy pour. Aroma is burnt, chocolate, some berries. Taste is moderately sweet and burnt with a nice chocolate note which saves it from becoming too dull with its salty herby licorice notes. Also a bit vinous with berries and fruit. Medium to full body. Small "mushy" bubbles. Pretty good, but i got a bit bored with it towards the end.

Pours black with a nice brown bubbly head leaving some lace. Aroma is meaty, fruity, slightly sweet and roasted. Sweet fruity mouthfeel. Flavor is fruity apples, pears, roasted malts and smokey. Sweet acidy tart palate. Finishes with nice fruity tart dry aftertaste.

On tap at Bishops Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm in January 2011. Black with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, licorice, some coffee and notes of port wine. The same in the pleasant taste. The best beer from Oceanbryggeriet that I have tried.

Draft @ Bishops Arms Savoy, Malmö. Pours a black color with a small tan head. Has a roasted malty chocolate aroma with hints of licorice. Roasted malty chocolate and licorice flavor. Has a roasted malty licorice and chocolate finish.
