Commercial Description:
In the beginning of 2006 the people behind Denmark's leading beer bar "Ølbaren", the leading beer shop "Ølbutikken" and Ølfabrikken sat down together to plan a beer that was to be only served from tap at Ølbaren and only sold in bottles from Ølbutikken. After a night of drinking it ended up with a massive Russian Imperial Chocolate Stout using ingredients from four continents. South american Cocoa, Asian coffee, North american hops and European malts. Ølfabrikken ØL is, of course, unpasteurized, unfiltered and cask conditioned like all of our beers. Introduced at 'Københavnske Øldage 2006'.

Cheeseman fuckin bringin it! This beer was right up my alley. Poured dark brown/black, with a smallish light brown head. Smelled of huge hershey’s chocolate, my mouth instantly watered. Milky and creamy dark malts helped balance a little but this baby was all chocolate. The flavor was much the same, it was really a hersheys chooclate beer. being a hug chocolat nut, i loved every minute of it. Very similar to ST Choklat in my opinion. Sweet,sticky finish left me wanting more. Money in the bank!

Thanks to the Cheeseman for the taste. This is a superb stout. Dark chocolate, burnt toast and marshmallow flavors. Fantastic, thick and juicy. Exceptional.

Nose is dark sweet chocolate a little oxidized and some nice coffee. Stagnant dark brown almost black no head. Sweet dark chocolate lots of eartht dry aged hops and coffee. Solid aged almost on verge of beinbg too old. Carbonation is almost none, bit ots smooth and good. Lightened out by age. Good.

Black brown. Virtually no head, but with liquid sticking to the glass. Caramel, cocoa and a little coffe on the nose. Moderately sweet and light bitter on the tongue. Medium bodied. Oily, syrupy in the mouth, but still smooth, with a soft carbonation. Finishes a tad alcoholic. Batch # 270 (Bottle, courtesy of tarjei 12.12.2009)

Small swingtop boittle, courtesy Cheeseman. I’m not sure the year on this one, but it held up really well. This one pours a very dark brown almost black color that shows barely any light through. A small and foamy tan colored head tops the body that leaves some brown wash behind on the glass. The aroma is very rich showing rich dark and milk chocolates that is very smooth to go with toasted caramel, roasted malts, and some earthy hops for bitterness. The flavor follows with the rich and decadent milk and dark chocolates melding together beautifully along with some roasty characters, and the earthy hops lending great balance on the backend. The chocolate is so smooth and creamy with just a fantastic flavor. Full bodied, smooth and creamy that finishes with a lengthy chocolate finish that begs you to keep drinking. This is an awesome chocolate stout, and I am so glad I got the chance to try it.

October ’09 O-Town Throwdown, wow!!! cheeseman delivers yet another amazing beer! #270 batch, pours black, cloudy with beige head. Aroma is full on chocolate, malts, some hints of smoke and pepper. Flavor, deep chocolate palate, followed by roasted malts, not overly bitter, thick chocolate mouthfeel, molasses, slushy and yeasty.

Swingtop bottle, courtesy Cheeseman. At least 2 years old, probably more. The pour yields a nearly opaque, dark mahogany brown body that shows almost black. A small, foamy, dark tan head leaves some dense brown staining on the glass, along with some minimal spotting. The aroma is based in ultra rich dark and milk chocolates, smooth and creamy as can be, with notes of scorched caramel, hints of roast, and some residual, earthy hoppiness. Flavors are just as decadent and smooth, again showing luxurious chocolate, soft roast, and just a faint touch of lactose. The remaining hops lend near perfect balance to the sweet chocolate. A big, creamy body is velvety, each sip begging the next, while a hint of residual grassiness comes through on the finish. Excellent stuff. This not only held up well over time, it is one of the best chocolate stouts I’ve ever had.
