4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Erdig-malziger, deutlich torfiger Beginn. Die Intensität nimmt rasch zu, neben dem komplexen Malz auch die Süße, die kurz zu stark erscheint. Dann ist das Malz aber wieder unangefochtem im Vordergrund, Röstnoten, Vanille, leicht trocken. Geringe Herbe, das Bier ist trotz der Intensität weich. Komplex malziger Abgang mit angenehmen Vanillenoten, langer röstiger Abgang. Spitzenklasse! 13/15/13/14/13/14

Bottle… This beer rocks!… Dark brown ale with a small, creamy, beige head. Excellent retention. The aroma is heavy, heavy, heavy on the coffee with a lesser note of milk chocolate and a hint of cinnamon. Full-bodied with a dry mouthfeel and nearly-expired carbonation. Bittersweet, acrid, burnt coffee flavor. Astringent, mocha finish that winds up bone-fucking-dry. World class bottle of beer provided by darkguardian!

A twist of the mind indeed! Thank you, Urbain, for this beer. Darkest black color with a small brown head. Aroma of anise, malt, and burnt espresso, like when you leave the espresso pt on the flame for too long. Flavor of licorice, malt, bitter cocoa, and earth. Dry bitter finish. Very different from batch #1, less coffee flavor. Just as wonderful.

Tap at Lord Hobo - Deep black pour with a thick tight tan head. The nose is a bit heavy and very cocoaish. Lots of light licorice and cocoa notes. Fairly assertive bitterness. A touch of soft licorice and cocoa. Peppery and also a little bit vegetal. It’s kind of odd - lots going on, maybe too much.
