Bottle shared by Svartvit @ tasting at Joes. Opaque black color, average sized light brown color. Aroma is malts, dark malts, heavy chocolate, firm alcohol, almond could be in there but I’m not sure I really get it. Taste malts, dark malts, chocolate, some cocos, nice mellow chocolate bitter finish. Very nice velvety mouthfeel.
On tap @ Nedre Eiker Gaard. Oh, it's a black one this. Not coal but bit too far off either. A medium sized softly lacing dark beigeish head placed on top. A really balanced lovely aroma. Dark roasted, kinda marshmallow sweet. It has tones of chocolate and burnt wood. Actually the more I smell it the more it reminds me of chocolate milk. Nice! Tastes really round and delicious. Chocolaty darkness, somewhat warming. It has a lot of bitterness this. Not only from the chocolate. It's really thick and viscous in the mouth while it's soft and prickling on the bubbles. Lingering darkness in the tail. Lovely stuff. 29.05.2015

Bomber, acquired in a trade. Split 3 ways at cellar temp. This is my 3,999th beer
A - This is pitch black, oily but not insanely thick.
S - The aroma is great. 10/10. God bless the adjunct gods. Almond, Cocoa, coconut...it’s all there. WOOHOOO
T - undeniably coconut flavor. Intense bitterness, maybe the almond landed this vegetable taste...the chalky bitterness from middle to a long finish like a chalky vegetable bomb.
M - Thin after a good oily mouthfeel that leads to the chalky teeth-film mouthfeel
O - Man, I wanted to love this beer. just has enough intensity that I can’t really love it.
Bomber bought @ Kihoskh. Pours slightly viscous black with a frothy and creamy dark mocha head that leaves some sparse spotty trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell i malty and tiny fruity estery with roasted malts, burnt caramel, dark roast coffee, dark chocolate, grilled banana, baked pears, blackberries, caramelized almonds, alcohol and hints of glue. Taste is sweet, heavy bitter, malty, tiny fruity and nutty. Mouthfeel is soft, round, roasted astringent, tiny boozy and near full bodied. Finish is sweet and heavy bitter with roasted malts, burnt caramel, toffee, dark roast coffee, dark chocolate, caramelized almonds and pecans, moist soil and hints of alcohol. Smell is a bit volatile and estery but the taste offers a great roast and a heavy tasty imperial stout.
Dunkler weicher, mild röstiger Antrunk. Die vorhandenen Nuancen von Alkohol verschwinden nach kurzer Zeit wieder, voluminös malzig bleibend, Noten von Kokosnuss, die aber wegen der stärkeren Vanilearomen im Hintergrund bleiben. Vollmundig, konstant steigende Röstigkeit. Langer, extrem weicher Nachhall. Super! 8/13/12/14/13/14
