Oct 2, 2009 12 oz. bottle: Wow... Pours dark brown with a creamy, light brown head. Dark caramel in the aroma, nutty and chocolatey malts are evenly balanced with fruity, light citrussy and piney hops. The flavour reminds of dark chocolate until prunes join in and mingle with the citrussy hops. The bitterness lingers with an aftertaste of hazelnuts. Not overly roasty therefore never astringent. The carbonation is soft, the mouthfeel is smooth and full but never cloying. Complex, flavourful, balanced - great.

Sep 28, 2009 Dark brown/black pour with a tan head. Aroma- lactose, espresso, chocolate, black licorice. The flavor is sweet up front with brown sugar, licorice, turning into a dark roasted feel like black coffee. The end turns very bitter. A very satisfying impy stout.

does not count  Sep 26, 2009 Dark appearance with a golden brown head. Strong aroma of malty hops. Chocolate and coffee taste in the first few sips. High alcohol content but no sacrifice of flavor. Great finish.

Sep 26, 2009 Bottle, from the massive trade with the epeeist almost two years ago. It’s a black beer with just a little dark brown glow where the glass is at it’s narrowest. The head is finger-thick and light tan, leaving nice lacings. The nose has it all, roasted malts, coffee, some chocolate and licorice notes, vanilla, citrusy and resiny hops, beef-stocky sweetness and a hint of alcohol. The alcohol is more pronounced in the mouth, giving a nice warmth as it slides down the throat. The hops are also pushed forward in the flavor, giving a nice bitterness to compete with the bitterness from the roasted malts. Quite oily on the palate, full-bodied and dry. Was expecting a sweeter one considering the aroma, but luckily it wasn’t. The finish is really lasting, with good bitterness and good warmth. The coffee flavor also shows up again. Overall, this is a gorgeous beer that I would love to have access to all the time. 090926

Sep 25, 2009 Bottle from Ølbutikken, Copenhagen. Pours a pich black with a foamy café latte head. The nose is raosted malts with lots of hops and coffee with some lacorice and vanilla. A bitter roasty taste that has plenty of complexity with nuts and vanilla and lots of coffee. The mouthfeel is medium with a single stringed finish..Not the worst but not the best either
