Dark as night and with a very deep, fruity aroma in direction of plum. Feeling of dark berries (sweet cherries, plum) with big degree of sweetness. Hint of coffee in the back- kind of reminds a lot of Black Tokyo Horizon, with a minimal hat on top. On the palate: Mild acidity, massive sweetness. Surprisingly little traces of whisky-casks. A great deal of berry-fruitiness which is long lasting and finalized by a hint of bitterness towards the end, the fruitiness slides over in acidic bitterness. This lasts for a good while leaving only bitterness to the aftertaste.

Clearly malty aroma. Soft entrance, with a light, nutty body in where malts reaches a peak. The taste does however let go a bit too sudden… Leaving you with a sense of hurry if one really wants to take the flavours of it all in, even though the beer in itself actually tastes good.
Black in colour, and lightflowing/thin. Fragrance of roasted coffee. A generous dash of sweetness that suits the coffee well, topped with a hint of liqurice. Long and bitter end- it kind of gives assocciations to Dark Horizon 4, and the alcohol content contributes to give the demanded power to the taste. Great stuff.
Fruity and mature aroma of malts. The colour is dark red/brown, somewhat warm. The taste is highly round and well balanced, where the first thing to hit is the rustique fruityness, followed by a delicious sweetness that slowly evolves in a bitter direction. It somehow gives the impression of being a little fresh at the same time as the maturity is prsent throughout.
