fonefan (24928) - VestJylland, DENMARK - JUN 22, 2007
Draught @ Ølbaren, Copenhagen. Dark brown color with a large creamy excellent lacing fully lasting light brown head. Aroma is moderate malty and some smoke, notes off coffee / chocolate !! Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium !! texture is oily. It was a bit disappointing.

Ungstrup (23918) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JAN 4, 2003
A dark/black beer with a fine very long lasting head. Not much aroma but hints of smoked malt. The flavor though is fantastic, it is smooth with notes of smoke, chocolate and tar - a fantastic stout taste. This is one of my favorite stouts.
