Ungstrup (11354), Frederiksberg, Denmark Oct 17, 2007 Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of coffee, soy sauce, and caramel. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of alcohol, as well as medium notes of oatmeal, coffee, roasted malt, and caramel, leading to a dry finish, where the alcohol burns the throat. Nice. omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Feb 25, 2008 Updated: Feb 28, 2008Bottled, thanks kmweaver! Almost black with minimal head. Loads of molasses and chocolate, followed by tar and licorice. Very sweet and thick with massive body, gets cloying and edgy with lots of alcohol coming through. An unbalanced mess. Papsoe (10285), Frederiksberg, Denmark Nov 9, 2007 (Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of kmweaver. Pours a clear, warm, dark brown with a reddish hue and a creamy, light brown head. Fat, vinous aroma - almost port like with some raisiny notes. Very full-bodied, this pours thick and sirupy. Loads of hard roasted malts, licorice and dried fruit. Rather subdued bitterness. Lovely indeed. 021107 Oakes (6973), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Mar 25, 2008 Very dark brown. There is an oily fullness to an otherwise full chocolate character. Light alcohol, a hint of wood. Really, it’s not as rounded nor complex as Boundary Bay’s take on the style. yespr (6889), Copenhagen O, Denmark Nov 14, 2007 From bottle, blind tasting at Papsoes - beer no 7. Pours dark brown to black with a diminished light brown head. Breadish and roasted dark malty aroma, has a dried fruit note too. Chocolate flavoured with a distinct liqourice in the finish. Gives a smooth chocolate flavour along the way and slowly leading into a nice finish with a distinct liqourice note.
