Dugges Enkens Brown Porter

Formerly brewed at Dugges Ale & Porterbryggeri
Style: Belgian Ale
Mölndal, Sweden

On tap @ Enken. Pours a clear brown with an average head and some lacings. Medium load of bittering hops. With average alcohol notes. Some coffee and dark chocolate. A hint of bacteria(?) Medium to full bodied. Medium carbonation. Dry finish with a mellow bittereness.

Dark brown, black colour with a small tan head. Roasted, coffee bitter aroma with chocolate sweet notes and a light hint of hops. Good balanced flavor made up by coffee bitterness and the chocolate sweetness. Dry, light roasted finish.

From tap at Den tatoverede Enke. Pours dark, hazy brown with a reddish hue. Head is creamy and mild chocolate brown. Roasted malt and chocolate malt aroma, mildly sweet. Creamy mouthfeel. Flavour starts sweet with notes of caramel and chocolate, some toffee. Quite flavourful. There is a mild liqourice edge towards the finish. Finish holds a mild berry note in a bed of malt flavours and some fruity bitterness lingering into the finish. Nice.

Draft. Pours a hazy dark brown colour with a medium nice creamy light brown head. Good lacing. Aroma of bitter chocolate, roasted malt and caramel with a slight smoky touch. Quite good mouthfeel. The flavour has lots of bitter chocolate, good roasted malt, roasted caramel, some coffee, hops and slight metal. Bitter roasty finish.

Tap @ Den Tatoverede Enke, Cph. [enjoyed with faroeviking]
Pours a clear deep red-brown with a fantastic mwsium creamy yellowish-beige head. There is super lacing. Aroma has powerful citric hops, nuts, and deep caramel mixed with sweet milk chocolate. Super creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is lightly nutty at first, then caramel takes over before chocolate en masse and lots and lots of sharpish hops. I truly enjoyed this - even without the chocolate on the side.

Draught @ Den Tatoveret Enke. Nice brown creamy head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Pitch black color. Aroma of liquorish, chocolate, coffee and some underlying roasted malt, caramel and hint of floral hoppy bitterness. Medium plus bodied with an average carbonation and maybe a hint of dry texture. Flavor was moderated bitter with some counter sweetness. Finish is dominating bitter chocolate like that lingers. Quit nice. Not the correct brew to have with Chimay, Corsendonk and Westmalle cheeses, still a very nice beer!

Fad. Mere stout end porter. Dejlig duft af brændt chokolade, og en meget dominerende smag af chokolade med brændte bitre noter. Der mangler en anelse sødme til at modsvare den ret ektreme bitterhed, men til en hvinende sød dessert er det dog lækkert.

Draught at Den Tatoverede Enke. Dark brown - offwhite head. Chokolate, chokolate, cocoa, dry, dusty cocoa-powder, smooth, light hoppy, some bitterness, light milkey, roasted, red berries, fruity, light yeasty notes. OK - Nice.
