330ml bottle. Lots of licorice and roasted aromas. Creamy and sweet, to much alcohol in the taste

a bit sour and smoked aroma of roasted malt, weak head, colour of body black, strong taste of herbs, licorice and wood, bitter and wierd aftertaste. . . .pretty ok for a carlsberg . . . . . . . . . . . . .

1970s era bottle brought by yours truly to the Sea Of Floydster tasting - been waiting a couple of years for the right occasion to crack this beauty. Amazingly, there was almost no oxidation in this beer, despite the age. Also, interestingly, called both a porter and an imperial stout on the label, and apparently a Baltic Porter by the brewery itself. I’m guessing Baltic Porter was not a recognized style in the 70s. Anyway, moving on. Originally, I was under the impression that this was supposed to be an imperial stout. As such, I found it thin by current standards. Of course, no reason to mark down this beer for that - wouldn’t be fair. Chocolate and vanilla notes, some leather and a light astringency are present. All in all, a not overly complex beer that is still tasting quite good and has held up remarkably well. I had no high hopes for this beer, so I was pleasantly surprised. Nice.

Bottle at Sea-of-Floydster tasting Thick black. Low carbonation. Lightly sweet. Crazy how old the beer is.

1970ish vintage Bottle @ Post Belgian Fest killer tasting dubbed Sea O’Floydster, with a load of cool people including Cquiroga, floydster, seaoflament and many others including my girlfriend and dr.bill. Pours brownish black with a tan ring. Nose is sweet and rich. Taste is sweet malty and full of choco, very nice very.

Sweet, not thick or heavy, prickly and somewhat bitter. Dull aftertaste. Purchased at SUperBrugsen Halmtorvet for 10dkr.

Black color with a small creamy offwhite head. Arome of roasted malt and some sweetness. Taste: roasted malt, dry, vanilla, cocoa and some coffee. A little thin mouthfeel for a stout but still at pretty good beer.
