Draught @ Den Tatoverede Enke, Cph. Dark brown coloured. Dense brown head. Lasting. Sweetness, brown sugar, caramel, liqourice and spice in the aroma. Flavour of coffee, liqourice, sweetness, cocoa and light fruits. Very balanced. Medium to full bodied. Light dry. Has a cocoa/liqourice bitterness in the end. Nice one.

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.

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.

Draught @ Den Tatoverede Enke, Copenhagen. Pours a dark reddish brown color with a longlasting off-white head. Malty hoppy bitter dark chocolate aroma. Dry malty hoppy bitter chocolate flavor with some hints of coffee. Long dry malty and bitter finish with hints of chocolate.

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.

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.

Draught, 250ml. Served with dark chocolate and to the right drinking temperature downstairs at Den Tatoverede Enke, Copenhagen. Mid, off-white head covering a ruby-brown body. Generously roasted aroma of dark chocolate malts. Fine balanced flavour of milk chocolate and bitter cocoa notes. Ends up with developing bitterness from dry, fruity hops. A characterful, mellow porter. (Thanks to Guri from VG for the treat, 16.09.2008)
