Many thanks to Hogtownharry for the bottle! Pours an inky, oily black with a small deep brown head. Holy smokes, I could smell this thing a foot away as soon as I popped the top! Licorice, dark toffee, cereal, and molasses. Wow, no complaints about the taste. Bitter resinous hops and tarry, black, thick malt. Plenty of licorice flavour - nice! Dark, fruity, smoky aftertaste lingers as beer warms. Strong alco burn. Thick creamy body with decent carb. What a treat!

Aug 29, 2008 Sune-drengen er på banen med denne øl. Sort, sort......... karamelfarvet skum. Superlækker duft og smag af bitter choko, kaffe , kaffegrums og brændte noter. Denne flaske er fra 2006 og har ligget i Sunes køleskab lige siden. Utroligt, jeg havde drukket den.

Aug 27, 2008 Deep brown with with a fast fleeting brown head. Aroma is sweet and floral with citrusy hops. Taste is almost unexpectedly rich, with deep roasty coffee, dark fruit, and a finishing hop buzz. Very sweet, but still fairly balanced, with a velvety mouthfeel. It does, however become a bit cloying and hard to drink after the first 8ozs. $6/22oz

Aug 20, 2008 Big black pour. Thick and opaque with half-inch brown head. Not expressively aromatic. some coffee. Roasted malt flavors dissipate into a smooth, mellow, no-nonsense brew. Nice slick mouthfeel. Rich without being the slightest bit roasty.
