This full-bodied danish dunkel is a warming, inviting pint of malty richness with a siren’s song of a velvet hammer glow after the third pint. A great brunette in a country noted for its blondes

can. Poured dark brown with a thinning tan head. Light caramel aroma but a bit astringent. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour of roasted malt, figs, smoke, and a little coffee. Very enjoyable.

Courtesy of Papsoe. Thanks, Henrik. Lightly toasted, sweet malt aroma. The body is a red tinged brown and holds a very nice looking, two finger thick, tan head that fades slowly. Malty fore with mild fruit notes and lots of toasted grain accents on to the dry, clean finish. Pretty well made, fun drinking beer. No real trace of the near 8% alcohol save a mild phenol note that blends into the toasted malt. Pretty good brew here.

Koelschtrinker (6544) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - MAY 25, 2011
Würziger, dunkelmalziger und fast etwas sojasaucenartiger Antrunk. Das Bier bleibt auf diesem extrem malzlastigen Level, eine erkennbare Schärfe macht sich in der Nase breit, gleichzeitig wird das Bier trocken, vorerst hintergründig, im Abgang dann auch erweitert. Süßlich, wenig karamelig, durch einen hopfigen Hauch frisch. Dunkel, leicht nussig. Guter malzlastiger Bock, der bei genauerem Betrachten Hefenoten aufweist und so etwas Ähnlichkeit mit einem Weizenbock hat. 12/11/11/12/11/12

I found the can did lend a metallic taste with a bitter sweet taste, for the high alcohol content is hard to distinguish. Not bad, next.

I really enjoyed this beer. Caramel taste with a fuller palate was very enjoyable.

500ml can: pours with a dark cola-ish hue, toasted and malty aroma, strong malty taste, very thick in texture, a good bock beer.
