Nynäshamns Sotholmen Extra Stout

Dark pour, nearly black, with a dark tan, frothy head of foam. Invigorating nose shows hints of dried chocolate, smoke, leather and dark fruit. Incredibly flavorful for a 6.6% beer, lots of taste. Hints of chocolate, smoke, tobacco and dried dark fruit. The most impressive part is the finish, which lasts nearly 30 seconds. An amazing recipe and also carefully brewed.

Hand-bottled (I think). Oily black coloured beer with a very dark brown head. Nose shows blackberry fruitiness, roasted malt, and a hint of smoke. Fairly sweet, light carbonation but full-bodied. Dark chocolate, roast, a touch of licorice and a long fruity and yeasty/dusty finish. Probably the beer of the evening.

On-tap at The Rover, Gothenburg. Dark brown/black color with light brown head. Aroma of roasted/burned malt, coffee, dark berries, chocolate. The taste is also roasted/lightly burned with notes of dark fruit/berries, coffee, chocolate, smoke, light caramel and bitterness. Creamy, but also dry mouthfeel.

Bottled. Pitch black coloured. Brown dense head. Roast, smoke, chocolate and some coffee in the aroma. Flavour of tart, sweetness, roast, chocolate and smoke. Some sweetness notable. Is full bodied. Quite dry. Has a coffee bitter end full of roastyness. Nice.

(Draught and bottle) Pours dark to black with a brown head. Roasted and medium burned aroma with mostly coffee but also some dark creamy chocolate and hints of liquorice. Roasted, burned, a bit peppery flavour with some tar, asfalt, liquorice and coffee. Medium salty with a thouch of caviar. Medium to full body and bitterness. Lingering burned and smokey aftertaste.
