| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 28, 2005 For a 5% beer this was very smoky, oily, and peaty. Abundant but fine carbonation. Very soft, medium-heavy mouthfeel. Body is dark and murky. Nutty notes. Some fruitiness or acidity might have balanced this out a little better. Very nice, but somewhat overwhelmingly peaty.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 31, 2005 Looks like CocaCola in the glass. Almost no head. A hint of malt in the nose. Lots of chocolate malt in the flavor. And some black patent, too, because it’s a very burnet flavor. Grainy mouthfeel. Like a homebrewed porter. Papsoe (14881), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 23, 2005 (Bottle 50 cl) Pitch black indeed with only a small head. Very malty character, not only roasted but burned malt - almost peat-like. Very drinkable, but it honestly reminds me more of a porter. 230201
