Great aroma, looks great too, flavor is as advertised, i’d love one of those for breakfirst, if i had a hangover. One of the best stout i’ve tasted, it is a bit on the smokey end of the spectre. I had a chance to check it hed2head against ølfabrikken’s porter (bottle version) and ØF’s brew was more balanced, but also had a sour/aged tone, which this one had not. Mikkeler’s BGB stout is a little better imo. Great brew. i’m going to stash up.

Oct 7, 2008 thanks to Julien Allen for this one! - pours a dark black colour under a solid creamy dark beige foam; beautiful lacing; deep aroma of black chocolate, cocoa powder and tobacco; a touch of gentian and fairly roasted; good malt body with a moderate and subtle carbonation; very dry and bitter; long dry aftertaste of espresso, tobacco and milk chocolate - beautiful

Oct 7, 2008 Bottle thanks to zathrus13. Did not have at breakfast...sadly.... Pour inky with a large, dark brown, creamy tight head with a black body with decent lacing and good retention. Aroma is over very fresh coffee, oatmeal cookie, flowers, chocolate, brown sugar and overall smells dark. Taste is fresh coffee roast, chocolatey with no alcohol at all. Deecently smokey. Nothing spectacular, but a good stout. Smooth mouthfeel, light bubbles.

Oct 3, 2008 03.10.2008, 0,5l Bottle. The colour is deep black with a dark brown lasting thick head. The head tastes like a campfire! The aroma is malt, hops, coffiee and dark bitter chocloate. The body is full and the aftertaste is sour bitter. I don’t think this beer is smooth. The taste is sharpe and powerfull, very nice. As i get through the glas this beer actually gets better. There is also some sweetnes here!
