UPDATED: FEB 3, 2005 Thick black and flat. Nose of roasted malt and hot chcolate. Heavy with chocolate flavor and light spice on the finish. Lightly spicey with some pepper heat on the back of the palate. Not necessarily bad but not really good. Eh? The finish is a bit hollow and bland. Too bad the first flavors don’t follow through.

UPDATED: MAY 12, 2005 It was hard to classify this between sweet stout and spiced. The pepper is so prominent I decided spice was the best category. The aroma starts like an oatmeal stout, then chocolate followed by the pepper. Thick and syrupy, black. Flavors of chocolate and pepper; enough for a small burn on the back of my throat. Different for sure, but overall the pepper and chocolate work. Heavy palate, similar to the big swede. Kind of gritty from the cocoa. Like this beer or not, the innovative spirit of Viking is something more brewers should have.
