Commercial Description:
Dry and surprisingly light-bodied. Malty sweetness and caramel flavors shift to distinctive dry-roasted malt notes.

Bottle. Black colour with a tan head. Aroma is roasted, coffee, fruit, hop. Flavour is roasted malt, coffee, fruit, hop, citrus, orange. Easy drinkable nice beer, but i wish for more body.

Bomber poured into a tulip. This better be a good one. I have high expectations. FFF BSS pours black with a minimal head. It has a great clear aroma, being crisp, slightly fruity and wholly unexpected. The body is more along the lines of a porter but it works none-the-less. There is a slight cider feel to this beer due to the dryness. The taste is slightly roasty with pine nuts, baked apples, and grapefruit acidity. The finish is quick and clean.

22oz bottle shared with the kid. thanks again man. Very dark brown pour with a tan head that holds on well and it has lots of tiny carbo bubbles. Not especially thick and oily. Smokey and chocolate on the nose with a hint of caramel and roasted malts and some hops as well. Dry, medium-light body. Nice chocolate flavor with a slightly bitter finish. A decent stout.

[Bottle] Pours deep clear black with a large tan head. Aroma is dry cocoa powder and coffee. There is also a hint of noble hop in there as well. The flavor is very roast forward, nice and dry, and a bittersweet finish. I’m not getting a ton of caramel in the beer, but no matter. Really a tasty, easy drinking brew.

22oz bottle pours a thick black/brown with a booming tan head which dissipates rather quickly . Complex taste is sweet full of malt with a chocolate caramel. The aroma does not give that “I’m a beer sent” but is not bad. A good tasting stout, nice finish on the palate. I would recommend for a desert beer

Dark black pour from bomber. Chocolate, citrus and coffee taste. Medium mouthfeel, with a nice bite to the finish. Decent stout.

Had this a couple weeks ago, it was very dry, poured black, I’ll have to go back and get another so I can give it a proper rating.

Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours deep brown, bordering on black, fine medium, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has lovely roasted malts, dark chocolate, light blackberries. Grassy, light fruity hoppiness as well. Lowish carbonation, fine dry mouthfeel. Lovely, elegant, subdued flavour. Hard roasted, dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, vanilla, a touch of smoke. Lovely grainy dryness with just a hint of good fruity hops. Nice.
