Dark brown with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of caramel and chocolate with a touch of plastic. Chocolate flavou with a mint note.

Picked this up at a supermarket not far from Lokkeren, Denmark sat drinking this in Frank (Camper) Thorsminde campsite West Jutland 20-09-08 Pours black with tight off white head ceamy head. Some creamy coffee, dark fruits and maltiness. This is just a little bit thin at times and overall a thoroughly pleasant beer. Reminded me of the Lokken beer I tried last night.

From Thorkilds Vinhandel, Vejen, DK Bottled. 160608. Very dark brown. Aroma of chocolate and malt. Flavor is chocolate, nuts and some caramel. Balanced sweetness to the coffee tones. Good bitterness.

500ml bottle from Skinnyviking. Pitch black body with some off-white bubbles on the top. Slightly roasted aroma of sweet, dark malts. Plain malty taste with just a hint of roasted nuts. A touch of bitter coffee beans in the ending. Rather easy drinking stout (shared with Finn A. 29.05.2008).

50 cl bottle. Pours black with a creamy off white head. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee & chocolate. Low carbonation. Too sweet & very mild. This brewery is Shit!

50 cL bottle. Pours black with a dense creamy and tan head. Aroma is initially a bit chalky, shows a light roasted and chocolate malt following this. Flavour is light acidic and almost fruity swept in roasted malt and chocolate. Minor toffee sweetness to this. Light roasted chocolate malt finish. Not too bad really, I don’t get the low ratings on this as this clearly must have improved over the years.

[Draught @ Den Tatoverede Enke] Hazy dark amber with tiny off white head. Somewhat malty aroma with coffee and liquerice. Sweet flavor with coffee, liquerice and caramel. Ends bitter.

Near black colored, slight red head. Rich coffee aroma with sweet chocolate, feels again like added sugar/chocolate here. Medium bodied. Flavor is also overly sweet with this roasted chocolate and caramel, this is way too over sweet for my taste. Some drying note in aftertaste, still I’m disappointend here.

Bottle. Dark brown color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing / virtually none, fully diminishing, beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, coffee, licorice, light malt sour. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (091007)

Bottle. Small brown head with short duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are mainly sweet roast malt with notes of coffee.
