Roasted, slightly sour flavor too, with some fruityness. Medium body with a pleasant co2 level. Sure better when fresh, this was cellared for six months. Rating: 6-4-6-3-12-3.1. Old rating stands.

Bottle (75cl corked) at Københavnske Øldage. Dark, reddish brown with a beige head. Sweetish nose with coffee and chocolate. Quite round actually. The alcohol has a little touch of alcohol in addition to coffee, chocolate and sweetness. Medium body, quite sweet finish with both coffee and chocolate. Even though most of their beers are a bit too rustic, I enjoy sampling them, and this is definately one of their best. (070511)
