Jun 26, 2008 bottle. wasn’t getting too much from the aroma here but pours an ultra dark red/black with a small tan head.
flavours of coffee bean, cocoa powder, roasted malts and some alcohol. full mouthfeel with creamy texture and slightly sticky, powdery finish that fell a little short of my expectaions.

Jun 21, 2008 Drunk at room temperature (not me, the beer). Deep, impenetrable black with a dense cappuccino-like head with some retention. Plenty of lacing. Gentle aroma of milk chocolate. Delicious, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is all chocolate with a touch of roasted bitterness. Gently bitter aftertase. There is sweetness in the flavour and aroma but it’s never cloying. An absolute delight from beginning to end.

Jun 9, 2008 Updated: Jan 20, 2009Biggish brown lasting head. Opaque black body goes just barely dark red at edges. Fruity roasty aroma with sugary licorice notes. Dry roasty caramelly taste with light wooden fruity notes. Slightly fizzy. Some sweetness. Full, yet light, body. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Dry roasty salt licorice aftertaste, strong, distinct, and lasting. Licorice taste settles in the mouth as you drink. Very nice. (0.5l bottle, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg. Rerated at Jerusalem Tavern, London. Scores averaged.)

Jun 7, 2008 Bottle. Pour with a nice thick head which dissipates quickly to a thin tan coat. laces the glass as it is drank. very dark. nice aroma of chocolate and roasted malts. very nice bitter chocolate taste which is creamy. Very nice to drink and overall a very creamy and solid beer.
NOTE: I had to rewrite my review because the previous bottle I drank turns out to definetly have been mishandled or left in the sun or something. Be careful where you buy your beer from.

May 31, 2008 Dark brown, black, opaque beer.1 inch tan foam head, that lasts a long time. A lot of lace. Aroma of baking chocolate, and dark roast. Flavor is bitter, sharp, tastes like overly roasted malts and little like alcohol. A real letdown. It’s really like getting everclear up your nose, with some coffee and milk.
