1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
UPDATED: JAN 16, 2010 Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. I hear the girls across the table scream "I don’t normally like beer, this tastes like chocolate!" Comes near black with bubbly head, producing a huge chocolate sauce aroam. Sweet and powerful, like concetrated chocolate sauce in every aspect. Sticky, candyish and super simple. Some coffee, but with more sugar in it than I can imgine can dissolve in coffee. Just ridiculous and more or less undrinkable. This is beer for people that doesn’t like beer.

4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle at På Besök, Malmö
Total black; big creamy head. It has an unmistakeable chocolate aroma, like entering a chocolate and candy shop, even if the tendency to the vanilla is not thrilling for me; also, coffee liquor (alcohol). The body is very strong, well structured, powerful, with traces of alcohol, immediately tickling the tongue and warm; excellent chocolate flavor that overwhelms everything else (caramel and traces of roasted malt); there is some residual sugar; the final is powerful but possibly balanced. Very well constructed and extremely pleasant.
