Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is liquorice, small some alcohol, mild toffee and some berries. Flavour is ripe berries, roast and some mild liquorice tones. Somewhat watery. I think this might be the first slight dissappointment from Buxton in my books.

23 March 2022. 'Get Rid of Polish Beers Tasting' - thanks for sharing, Meeki!

Cloudy black, small, yellowish beige head. Strong aroma of mushroom, soy sauce, beef stock, melting fudge, chocolate sauce, coffee powder, jerky, whisky. Taste has sweet pum & fig, sourish brambleberry, quite restrained against a toasty malt backbone; umami & earthy notes of jerky & soy, touch of coffee. Herbal & earthy hoppy finish, lingering umami impression, cold coffee & tobacco, warming whisky-like alcohol. Medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Very intense and delicious.

Spandert av Rune. Delt med ham i WCveien. Svart. Høyt mokkafarget skum som daler sakte og etterlater litt filigranser. God sjokoladearoma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken salt lakris, sjokolade & en dash kaffe. Tørr avslutning.

440ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Nettstore. Shared with Finn. Proper tan-coloured head leaving clingy lacing on the glass, coal black body appearance. Prominent aromas of cocoa powder, nicely roasted. Good taste of dark bread, chocolate-cocoa, and nuts. Lingering, smoothly roasted bitter finish. Full bodied, still quite easy to drink. Delivers well. (Tromsø 16.03.2021).

Black with a beige head. Aroma of roast, dark chocolate, coffee, dark malts and light licorice. Flavour is light heavy sweet and bitter. Light full bodied with soft carbonation carbonation. Old school and good for it!
