Dark brown pour with some ruby highlights and a lacy, creamy tan head. Chocolate, raisins, roasted malt and grain come through in the aroma. Flavor is mostly sweet and chocolaty. Light bodied. A touch of hop bitterness on the finish. Not bad at all.

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm 4 Nov 2008) Black colour with ruby hints when seen through light. Frothy, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with soft chocolate notes, dark fruit and raisins. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, dark fruit, raisins and prunes. Distinct coffee bitterness in a balanced finish with a hint of wild berry sweetness. Nice and tasty brew. In short: roasted coffee and dark fruit.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a medium creamy head. Rich aroma and taste of roasted malts and chocolate. Smooth palate.

Very dark brown body with a large-bubbled off white head that dissolves to cling to the glass and continue to bubble for a while. Creamy chocolate aroma with some hazlenutty characters. Roasted and chocolate malts come through with a slight metallic bite. Foamy in the mouth, feels good on the tongue. The finish is dry with breathy vodka notes.

Bottle. Poured dark brown with smooth tan head. Smelled malty sweet with some roasted grains and chocolate. Tasted smokey deep coffee, nuts, grains, malty, some choclate, maybe some honey. Hints of hops, but very bitter. Slight medicinal taste, but not bad. Pretty good beer.
