ThomasE (5176) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - OCT 7, 2005
RBESG 2005, Brown body with a beige head. Malty, grainy aroma with a caramel sweetness. Roasted malty flavor with a light chocolate sweetness and a short dry finish.

rsmeds (228) - Turku, FINLAND - SEP 12, 2005
Bottle. Very dark brown (almost black), with huge foamy, lacy brown head. Roasted aroma of caramel and perhaps some dark chocolate. Silky smooth, palate a bit sticky. Roasted coffee and malt sweetness in flavor, as well as some hoppy bitterness, and a roasted, slightly bitter dark chocolate finish. Delicious, stout-like beer.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 27, 2005
A red-brown beer with a disappearing light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw and a dry end.

JensenTaster (1717) - DENMARK - AUG 17, 2005
(on bottle at RBESG 2005) Rotten masharoma, sweet and moldy. Waterish mouthfeel and a slightly burnt finish. Not really a beer that takes you anywhere.

Pernille (518) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - APR 21, 2005
Very dark, almost black with a fine head. It smells nice and malty. I taste a bit of coffee. But flavor is way too hoppy and bitter for my taste. Disappointment.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - APR 21, 2005
Bottled. Black opaque, huge brown creamy/foamy longlasting head. Lacing. Aroma of paperfactory... also some roasted malt as well as old coffee aroma is present. Weak roasted malt in flavour, as well as some sweetish hints. A bit stoutlike as for the roastiness. Sticky palate, and roasted, semibitterish aftertaste.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - APR 20, 2005
UPDATED: JUN 14, 2005 (Bottle 50 cl) Very dark, almost black with a creamy and quite stable light brown head. Very dry with pronounced notes of the roasted malts, but not really bitter. Top fermented and closer to a dry Irish stout than an ale. A bit like Guinness in Finnish. 160405
