Ungstrup (14754), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jan 18, 2007 Bottled. A pitch black beer with a bubbly thick dark brown head. The aroma is powerful with the strongest notes being chocolate and hops, but also with lighter notes of roasted malt, coffee, and hints of berries. The flavor is sweet and extremely dry, like ground cocoa beans combined with notes of dark bitter dessert chocolate, prunes, roasted malt, a bit of coffee, and citrusy notes from the hops. The end is quite bitter, both from hard roasted malt and the hops, and the cocoa and citrusy hoppy notes lingers for a long time. Nice. Papsoe (14642), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jan 17, 2006 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Almost opaque blackness with a tint of red. Creamy, beige head. Burned aroma. Rather light-bodied with very burned, malty notes. Bitter finish from the malts. 160106 omhper (12155), Stockholm, Sweden Jan 31, 2002 Pitch black. Roasty, very full bodied, very balanced, very tasty. A favourite among stouts.
