6 Lovely rich chocolatey aroma. Some mushrooms, and something between plums and soy sauce according to Janne
4+ Very dark, huge huge rocky tan head
7 Similar to the aroma, it’s a savoury roast.
4 Very full palate, smooth, nice carbonation. Finish is quite mushroomy and soy-ey again, bug definitely very chocolatey. A little sticky.

Tequilakongen (263) - Oslo, NORWAY - NOV 29, 2011
Taste is bitter-sweet throughout and becoming more bitter towards the finish. There is also a hint of sourness there. Coffee in aroma and taste, berries on the nose as well. The brew is almost pitch black, the small head is brown.
