Style: Stout
Copenhagen V, Denmark

Thanks to myself for this one. Cracked it open with a bowl of cocco puffs for breakfast. Pours a dark black color with a big toffee colored head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee and oatmeal. Taste was a little more coffee based then I like since I am not a coffee drinker but still very enjoyable. Lots of roasted malts. Slight trace of alcohol but still easy to drink. Nice hoppy bitterness in the after taste. The texture is thick in the glass but doesnt really feel that way once you taste it. Overall this is a well crafted beer. And If you like coffee this beer is for you!

An absolute monster! Pours balck motor oil, with a nice tan head leaving lots of lace. Aromas of coffe, roasted malts and oats. Flavor is smooth and silky coffee, oats with a little bitterness at the end. A beauty of a brew!

Black with a big tan head. Smell is super roasty, coffee, oatmeal, chocolate, smooth, and creamy. Taste is all of the above in the smell. Good body. Good beer.

50 cl Bottle. Brutal coffee flavour on this one. And some smokiness too! Well, you actually could drink this for breakfast, cause it’s probably more calories in it than in the danish "smorebroed" lol. Well, on the more serious note, very much coffee, and some dark chocolate in the flavour. A slight hint of smokiness as i wrote above. Not worth the expensive price though. 59 SEK = about 9 Dollars.

Bottle pours black with a monster tan head and lace sheets like it loves the glass. The aroma is of sweet espresso, chocolate, and malt. The flavor is bitter chocolate, coffee, oats, and bitterness in the linger. The palate is slick and lively. This is well done.

Pours extrrmely dark. Aroma is roasted chocolate coffee. Flavor is bitter, a little sweet. Not really made for my tastes.
