I’ve been looking forward to this beer in a long time - ever since it was in the top 50. The beer is pitch black with a nice brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted combined with quite strong notes of chocolate. The flavor is slightly acidic with strong notes of chocolate as well as light notes of herbs and alcohol, leading to a very dry end with a very strong coffee presence. Nice.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Pours black and opaque with a creamy, light brown head. Burned, malty nose. Medium body with burned malt accents and a distinct, malt bitter finish. 070907

Pretty near black. Dense chocolatey, fruity aroma with fruitcake, dark malts and alcohol. Fatty, tangy body with loads of luscious malt. Chocolatey and dense, like a cheesecake. Somewhat unassertive, but some very nice and fairly unique flavours.

Blind tasting at sk8vikings porter / stout tasting, beer no 26. Pours dark brown almost black, with a brown rim head. Roasted malt flavour. Heavy roasted flavour, slight chocolate. Alcoholic flavour, nice but lacks some freshness and balance to be really great.

Bottle. Black coloured with a beige ehad. Roasted aroma with notes of vanilla, coffee and chocolate with notes of dried fruits. Roasted flavour of dried fruits and vanilla.
