Defreni (994), Frederiksberg, Denmark Dec 31, 2008 Flaske: Flot sort øl med et lækkert cremet skum. Dejlig duft af chokolade og en smule brændt malt. Smagen er cremet og fuld af chokolade med en meget brændt finish. Super øl der bruger alle procenterne optimalt. pivnizub (4953), Bochum, Porúří, Germany Dec 30, 2008 Bottle. Literally black coloured with some ruby spots, stable mid-sized beige creamy head. Dried fruits, roasted malt and molasses in the solid aroma. Robust sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied, creamy MF indeed. Lingering sweet-fruity, later drier bitter finish with an almost smoky touch. Good, fine English quality............. cyrenaica (435), Milton, Ontario, Canada Dec 25, 2008 500ml bottle
6.5% ABV
I tried this beer on October 10, 2008 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a dark brownish-black. When held up against sunlight, there was a trace of light getting throogh. The head was thin, bubbly, and gone in an instant. The aroma was roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, and slightly creamy. The flavour profile is similar to the aroma, roasted malt with a definite cocoa like taste and feel. chops (60), Brantford, Ontario, Canada Dec 24, 2008 500ml Bottle from the LCBO. Strong coffee and chocolate flavors and aromas. I could drink a fair amount of this stuff Quevillon (1519), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Dec 21, 2008 Bouteille de 500ml oval, acheté au LCBO de Rideau et King Edward à Ottawa le 29 novembre 2008. Presque noir, très peu de colle beige et ce n,a pas duré non plus. Arome d,avoine et d,orge malté, des notes de fruits confits épicé. Goût de café légèrement malté, sucré au début mais une finission un peu sûrette, arrière goût amère avec pas assez de saveur. C,est quand même buvable mais c,est un peu mince et très loin d,être crèmeux! CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA Dec 15, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Lots of coffee and tobacco in there. Sweetly sour finish. Expected it to be creamier I guess. Very thin-bodied but lots of flavor compared to the body. Boutip (2335), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Dec 12, 2008 Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large light brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry coffee and light roasted malt. Taste is also dominated by some dry coffee with some roasted malt. Body is somewhat creamy, which I enjoyed, but also too thin with some average carbonation. Not bad but definitely one of the best from this hit or miss brewery. Ober (1165), Bommelerwaard, Netherlands Dec 10, 2008 Updated: Nov 4, 2009A black colored beer, with a thick beige head. The aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, wit dark fruits. The taste of roasted malt, some bitter chocolate and sweets in the back. A little fruity like raisins.
The aftertaste is dry and bittersweet.
