Pinball (260), Allerød, Denmark May 7, 2008 bottle, smells real good (chocolate dominated, but nice), looks great, tastes like cigarette butts filtered stout, with some chili thrown in. palate a little below average. Overall not one i’m going to try again.
I like laphoriagh, and this reminds me of laph. might grow on you.
Trying a new glass after 5 min. This time around much better, still not good though.

Dark nut brown color, small steady tan head. Coffeish, licoricey, a bit milky aroma. Coffeish, roasted flavor. Quite sweet stout with good malty backbone. Sweetness is just a bit too much and drops a point or two. dunkpigen (253), Kolding, Denmark Jul 13, 2008 Tap at Århus Ølfestival 2008. Pours a nice black with a big brownish head.
