Musikbryggeriet daCapo Frederiksberg Chocolade Stout

50 cl bottle, via Papsoe. Pours a clear dark brown body under a small fizzy brown head. The nose is of chocolate malt, roast, and a slight chalkiness. Minimal chocolate flavor, roasty and slightly astringent. Finishes very dry with some burnt malt and moderate bitterness. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with watery texture and moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, an average Stout. I was expecting alot more chocolate flavor because of the name and label, but that was really a pretty minor part of the beer.

,5 l. Thanks, Maria! Dated July 1, 07. Not sure if that’s bottled date, best by, minimum cellaring date, or what. Black. Dense, moussy tan head that falls quickly to a thin layer of foam with scattered stripes of lace. Big chocolate nose when you crack it, but it settles down to being nearly neutral aromatically after just a minute or two. Nice creamy medium+ body, but nothing too huge. Just well-placed and satisfying. Soft carb, very understated, but not forgotten. Rich roasty mid-palate, almost a bit of char, decent baking chocolate notes. Long, slightly chalky finish that’s actually pleasant (and seeing me say something nice about chalk is rare). Good little stout that’s way overshadowed by the titans of the style coming out of the woodwork around it.

Reddish, brown colour with a fast disappearing tan head. Light roasted, coffee bitter aroma with chocolate sweet notes. Coffee bitter and cocoa sweet flavor. Sweet and vague fruity finish.

Bottle. A almost black beer with a big beige head. The aroma is mainly of chocolate with some coffee, the taste is also chocolate but with some vanilla and a hint of coffee, a bit thin with a sweet finish.

Bottle. Dark brown coloured with a beige head. Light roasted aroma of chocolate and cocoa. LIght roasted flavour of chocolate and cocoa with notes of dried fruits. One dimensional.
