Bottle, RBESG 2007 in Glasgow, Grand Tasting. Pitch black colour, creamy brown head. Very nice aroma of chocolate and roasted malts, hints of oak. Intensely rich and complex flavour: oaky, vinous, roasty, chocolate, liquorice. An excellent beer, but so is the "ordinary" Stormaktsporter.

0.25 l bottle at Omnipollo Hatt, Stockholm. Shared with little Dina and Lorelei. Dark brown, reddish tint. Sophisticated fruity aroma, dark cherry, dark caramel, dark chocolate, wood, very nutty and alcohol. Very roasty flavours, thick chocolate, roasty tartness, brandy quality, barrel age quality. Good balance between smooth and sharp, very nice texture. Very nice toasty, charred wood, ash. Finish is dry, roasty, lasting and very soft.

0,25l bottle at home shared by Saeglopur, big thanks. Brewed 26.10.2016. black color, small dark coffee colored head. smells of bitter chocolate, light blue cheese notes, dried fruits, earthy, light honey, figs, nice smell. full body, light carbonation. tastes of honey, dried fruits, some fudgy notes, spices, bit of blue cheese, figs, spices, bit peppery, rather earthy, lavender. finishes lightly sweet with notes of blue cheese, honey and figs. bit weirdish, has a certain blue cheese note for me, that combined with the honey is nice but again also weird, also some bitter chocolate.

2006 bottle. Almost black color, with dark brown foam. Creamy aroma with dark chocolate, ash and roast. Thick bodied, but dryer as expected. initial alcohol is attacked by a flavor bomb, consisting of cream, roasted malt, loads of dark chocolate, ash, oak, beechwood and pineapple. Alcohol burn in the endless aftertaste. Complex and delicious beer, seems heavier than its promised 10% ABV. 8 4 8 5 17 = 4.2 2007 version, tap @ EBF 2008. Flower honey in the delicious aroma, combined with some oak. Licorice, honey and roast in the flavor. Lusciously sweet but still a great complexity. Licorice in the aftertaste. Again: excellent!
