Ungstrup (11136), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jul 28, 2008 Bottled - tasted blind. A pitch black beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of a moldy ashtray full of tobacco. The flavor is sweet with notes of tobacco as well as an acidity from hard roasted malt, leading to a dry and very roasted finish.Too much tobacco for me.
