Glad I finally got to sample this. Black, sticky and viscous, just like it should be. Hoppy and sweet, lots of coffee and chocolate; raisins; prune; burnt popcorn; all those things you expect. Very nice but a bit overshadowed by some of the other brews sampled last night.

Oct 12, 2008 Pours pitch black with a brownish head. Aroma is sweet with coffee and chocolate. Flavour of chocolate and coffee with some malty sweetness to it.

Black, coca-cola tinge.
Rather soft and smooth. Cocoa, alcohol warming. Some spiciness in the finish. Pleasnt beer for sipping, deceivingly easy to drink..

Oct 6, 2008 Pitch black pour with tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Delicious taste with initial sweetness, with roasted malt, bitter chocolate, anise, and some floral bitter hops on the finish. Wonderfully thick lon the palate. Great beer.

Oct 3, 2008 (Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 20 Sep 2008) Pitch black colour with brief, brown head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of black coffee, dark chocolate and hints of citrussy hops. Roasted, malty taste with strong black coffee, liquorice, cocoa and hints of tar. Citrussy hops in a fairly bitter finish. Balanced sweetness. Brilliantly balanced with alcohol well hidden. Absolutely stunning beer! Beautiful!

Oct 3, 2008 From bottle. Pours dark black with very little head. Huge chocolaty malt aroma.
Not as heavy inthe mouth as expected but full of coffee, chocolate and smoke. Don’t serve this too cold or you may be disappointed. Classic Stone brew.
