3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
A red-brown beer with a huge chocolate brown head. The aroma is almost overwhelmingly full of chocolate - milk chocolate, but also contains notes of vanilla. The mouthfeel is quite thin - a surprise to me, at the alcohol content and for a beer from Svaneke. The flavor contains lots of chocolate, primarily milk chocolate, but in the end also some bitter chocolate. Besides all the chocolate the flavor also contains vanilla and some roasted malt. I wonder how this will mature.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
50 cL bottle, both as Choko and Kjaerstrup stout, tasted head to head - completely the same. Pours dark brown with a red hue and a hue creamy light brown head. Heavy chocolate aroma, dry and spiced. Creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has the same distinct chocolate flavour again as the aroma. Nice dry, a bit dusty, creamy. Mild hops bitterness into the finish, otherwise dominated by the chocolate bitterness it seems.
