Adenila (679), Denmark Jun 15, 2008 Completly black with a small dark brown head. Aroma is coffee galore along with hard roasted malts. Body is suprisingly mediocre compared to the powerfull aroma, has a good amount of bitter roasted notes and again fresh coffee.
larsniclas (3029), Gothenburg, Sweden Oct 4, 2008 Bottled at EBF08.
Black with a small, beige head.
Vanilla and milky chocolate in the aroma.
A bit too sweet flavour. Soft and smooth palate.
Milky chocolate and slightly salty flavour. Rune (1804), Tromsø, Norway Oct 2, 2008 100ml from a bottle at EBF 08. Very cool label art. Pours a body dark as pitch, with a brownish top. Roasted smell of dark chocolate. Mixed flavour of anise, coffee and cocoa. Very smooth and rather dry in the mouth. Noticeable alcohol. Another pleasant Danish stout! (Copenhagen, 14.09.2008). Miksu (1286), Jyväskylä, Finland Sep 27, 2008 0.5 l bottle.Black color with small head. Strong coffee aroma with also charcoal, licorice, tobacco and hints of soil. Coffee, charcoal, licorice and firm bitterness in the flavor. Long dryish licorice finish. Fairly tasty but licorice and coffee flavors are somewhat overpowering. Grovlam (3198), Copenhagen, Denmark Sep 25, 2008 [EBF @ Copenhagen, September 2008] Average brown creamy head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Pitch black color. Aroma of strong roasted malt, chocolate, hint of smoke, liquorish, mild coffee and alcohol. Medium to almost full bodied with an average carbonation and somewhat thick alcoholic texture. Moderated to heavy bitter flavor with good counter sweetness. Lingering dry and bitter finish. larsga (2293), Oslo, Norway Sep 23, 2008 Small brown head does not last. Opaque black body. Burnt wheaty coffee aroma with grainy notes. Sweetish alcoholic fruity citric taste with burnt grainy notes. Some alcohol heat. Soft mouthfeel. Dry grainy burnt chocolate and coffee aftertaste. A bit fizzy. Nice, but not outstanding. (0.1l taster draft at EBF ’08.)
