Pours almost black with red highlights, a ring of greyish brown suds. Aroma is mostly coffee, caramel and chocolate, a little hint of a funk, some hay, and a slight berrylike sourness to it. Flavour is dry and bitter coffee and chocolate, burnt notes, almost smoky. Not as complex as the nose. Medium body, too aggressively carbonated.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at Copenhagen Oldage on 20 May 2006 (noted at 6.0%). Very dark colour with a lasting tan head. Roasty, with a touch of butterscotch in the aroma. Some coffee on the palate. Decent enough but a bit too sweet for my taste. I thought the mouthfeel was a little thin for a stout but now I see it’s meant as a stout/Schwarzbier hybrid I guess that’s understandable.

Copenhagen beerfestival 2007. Creamy brown head on a opaque dark base. Light dusty sour mash and roast nose. Quite a bit of milk chocolatety flavor. Mellow creamy mouthfeel. Delicate flavour profile.

Not the best hybrid, then it’s better to mix an IPA with a stout. It lacks hop!
