This must just be the actual name for the Aarhus Stout, that has disappeared new year 08-09 when the imperial label was first seen.

Copenhagen Beer Festival, 2012. Pours dark ruby amber with a white head. A bit of roast, chocolate and toffee. Medium bodied.

Botle: Thanks to Jan: Medium vast lively ashy grey head, disappears slow, on top of a deep dark brown black colored beer. Smell lots of oatmeal, horse food, hint of roasted malts, pils malts and toasted grains. Taste is a smooth but very light mix of light roasted/toasted malts, light light liquorice and light light chocolate, pils malts, toasted grains, light to medium bitterness, some hoppy flavours and again a hint of oatmeal. Aftertaste is a bit weak and light mix of soft bitterness, some light roasted grains, some hops and barley oatmeal malts. Low carbo, soft mouthfeel, medium body and a (light) creamy texture. Decent but nothing special. Like an oatmeal stout. Love the bottle and the description here on Ratebeer.

Bottle, bought @ LIVA, Kolding.
Pours black with some brown in it. Fine, creamy, off-white head, good lacings. Aroma has coffee, hazelnuts, caramel, soft roasted malts. Medium carbonation, soft creamy and light dry mouthfeel. Flavour has dark chocolate, lots of nuts, roasted malts and a touch of coffee. Finish is ashy, malty dry and fairly bitter. Feels a bit rough around the edges and a tad watery in the far finish, but fairly drinkable.

Pours a clear and dark brown beer with a beige head. The aroma is malt, roasted and ash. The flavor follows the nose with additional notes of sweetness. The palate is sweetness. Overall a good beer.

Bottle, 60cl. Vintage 2010. A more or less black one, topped by a small, dense, beige head. Some roasted malts, with caramel, some butterscotch and dried fruits and licorice. The flavor is on the chocolate side, not much roasted or burnt flavors to be found. Some bitterness. Medium to fulll body, quite dry, yet sweetish. Smooth carbonation. Chocolate and roasted malts in the end. Not much imperial stout-ish going on here. 111112
