1.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
UPDATED: FEB 23, 2012 Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Almost black, no head. Powerful chocolate sauce aroma with a touch of vanilla. Very sweet and extremely syrupy with hard metallic, yet sticky mouthfeel. Flavour is chocolate sauce, chocolate sauce and chocolate sauce. It’s near full bodied, but with the most simplistic body you can imagine. Finishes with more chocolate sauce. I’ve tasted beers before that I could imagine would go well with vanilla ice-cream, but this is the first that requires it. Probably the most one-dimensional 11% beer ever made. Oh well, Souther Tier is constantly putting out this type of gimmicky underwhelming big beers. To me they are the most overrated brewer on Ratebeer, and this is their most overrated beer. A nip of this would be fine - it’d be like a cheap, sticky chocolate brandy. A bomber is way out - something I’d never dream of finishing.

4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Draught at Ørsted, Copenhagen
Deep, black color; the head reduces to a small creamy layer. Immediately the chocolate aroma spreads in the room, it reminds me the one used for Easter eggs, not the best quality; anyway, the aroma is deep. Full bodied, with a good, sweet, caramel and chocolate flavor, very strong; here the chocolate is less cheap than the aroma. It really gives the impression of drinking cold, dark chocolate, extremely powerful, everything is well blended. Very good.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are rich chocolate, roast malt and then again more chocolate in the finish. Great taste.
