Boulder Beer Obovoid Empirical Stout

This was one of the best beers I’ve ever had. Thick and dense, chewy and fresh, this beer had a roast complex of utopia. There’s something about the balance this one achieves that’s mind blowing. It’s thick and roasty and harsh and abrasive yet it’s soft and fluffy on the swallow in a way that the body lets down it’s bigness but the flavors still sink deep into every crevice of your palate. Very interesting, and I loved every minute of this one. Will buy whenever I see it.

Dark brown color with no head. Aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. Weak body. Flavor of roasted malts, lots of chocolate, and caramel.

On tap. Average creamy frothy light brown excellent lacing head. Dark black body. Aroma of straw malt & chocolate. Simple flavor, Malty begging followed by slight bitterness.

Super dark and a bit thick on the pour with an off white dense head. Aroma is sweet with bittersweet chocolate and roasted malts. Flavor is sweet and has a balanced bitter roast. Some caramel, molasses and wood, vanilla. Nice body.

Nice dark stout, with a solid chocolate body, and a little hint of earthy barley notes. Fairly smooth, with little carbonation. Good, but not extraordinary.

Bottled@Monks Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm. Quite much black colour, small brown head. Aroma is caramel, mild sugary notes as well as some roasted malts and chocolate. Flavour is caramel, burnt sugar, some slight roasted malts as well as coffee, vanilla and chocolate. Also some rather wooden notes in the finish.

Bottle from sahara mart. Pours dark black with brown edge. Nose is roasted malt and chocolate, some earthy oak. Flavor is a little on the carbonated side almost to the point of distraction. Nose components are there, but it’s a little light and empty. Lacking a big punch and creamy smoothness. The taste is overall pretty good, and I have nothing to really complain about, just not superb. i guess if anything I would ask for more oak.

Bottle at Papsø. Clear brown coloured with a small beige head. Roasted aroma of liquorice, dark chocolate and dried fruits. Roasted flavour of oat, dark chocolate and liquorice. Dry roasted finish.
