4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20UPDATED: DEC 8, 2010 Bottle at the European Beer Festival, Copenhagen. Black as can be, with a tan head. Licorice, roasted malt, alcohol, coffee and chocolate on the nose. Sweet in the mouth, full-bodied and almost sticky. Nice alcohol warmth as well. Chocolate, coffee, some licorice and even more sweetness. The finish is of the lasting kind, with alcohol, sugar, chocolate and coffee. Not an easy to drink beer, but wonderful.

Bottle. It’s a pitch black beer topped by a finger-thick creamy beige head. It tried to escape the bottle on its own. Coffee, dark chocolate and a subtle berry-like sourness in the aroma. Cocoa, dark dried fruits and some caramel too. Quite dry on the palate, full-bodied and faintly warming. The flavor has dried fruits and fresh berries, cocoa, coffee and roasted malts. Lasting burnt finish with the flavors found initially and some alcohol warmth. A really pleasant one, layers and layers of flavors. Yummy. 101208

da questo momento in poi (cambio gettoni allo zbf 2013) comincia un vero e proprio delirio/declino..il birrificio struise diventa il mio principale punto di riferimento..e come potrebbe non esserlo??da quello che ricordo posso solo dire che su 4/5 birre assaggiate ognuna era un vero e proprio capolavoro..nel vero senso della parola..aromi impressionanti,complessi all’ennesima potenza..ogni sorso era un tripudio di sapori quasi impossibili da decifrare completamente ma che sicuramente meritano un altro assaggio..per la maggior parte ho assggiato birre scure,come questa..micidiale e il tutto servito alla spina insieme al GATTO LOPEZ :D zbf 2013

Bottled 05/05/13. A black beer with a wisp of grey head. I’ve had this nearly five years and it’s aged nicely but could probably go longer. Very boozy and very oily. Soy notes. Strong soy and alcohol in the aroma. Slick and very bitter in the mouth. Lots of tarmac. The finish goes on forever but the flavours are a bit too boozy and extreme to be a World beater.

Bottle. Pours very dark with a good amount of carbonation. Flavor is some bakers chocolate, mocha and nice spices. This is a really good beer, I cannot believe it is 13% abv.

Bottle shared by John on Sunday morning after TAP-NY back in his hotel room with Matt, Justin, Amerci, and a pantsless Ed. Pours a deep black with a thin to medium sized tan head. Big chewy roast and lots of chocolate and cocoa. Plum, tastes of chewy fudgy brownies. Super smooth, bitter cocoa. Spicy cocoa lingers on the gums.

15CL glass at Zythos Beer Festival. Very black beer and I liked it, don’t know how to rate it, just that I liked it.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours pitch black with a small tan head and a thick sweet aroma with notes of syrup, overripe fruits, espresso, roasted malts and toffee. The taste is sweet without being oversweet and the alcohol is very well hidden, considering the high amount it contains. There’s hints of licorice, ripe cherries, moccha, dark malts, cacao, candy sugar and some hops hidden somewhere in the end. A very nice beer, I really like it!
