From tap, at Den årlige ølsmagning i Valhal. Pours dark brown, slight murky, and with a little creamy tan head. Mild roasted malt and smooth chocolate in the aroma. Slight smoked note to a nice sweet roasted malt flavour. Shows a mild smooth chocolate note asweel. Ends with solid bitterness swept in sweet and smooth chocolate malt. Nice.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught, at No. 5.
Black with a light brown head, mostly diminishing, fair lacings. Aroma moderate malty (brown sugar, caramel, light notes of licorice and smoke), light hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter. Medium body, creamy, flat to soft carbonated.
The brewer wants to raise the alcohol and thereby remove some sweetness.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
(On tap) Opaque dark brown but not completely black. Neat, creamy, beige cappuchinoish head. Aroma of roasted malt and a whiff of smoke. An unusual - but pleasant - overwhelming fruitiness, typical for Holbæk Bryghus but unusual for a Stout. Distinct accents of licorice - probably the added sage adds to this - and a vague ashy edge. Sweetish at first but relieved by some dryness while no real bitterness ever emerges. An interesting and rather complex beer. 090306

UPDATED: FEB 10, 2006 Draft at the brewpub.
Black coloured with a beige head.
Dry roasted aroma with notes of fruits and alcohol.
Sweet flavour of dried fruits and fruits with roasted notes.
Light roasted and alcoholic finish.
Not bad, but tastes like something in between an abbey dubbel and a stout.
Too sweet and fruity for a stout.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
An opaque dark brown beer - it even seems unclear - with a thin brown head. The aroma is malty with some dusty hoppy notes, but also hints of licorice and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel and roasted malt, as well as lighter notes of licorice, that gets stronger as You get closer to the end. A nice beer, but thin for being 6.6% ABV.
