goldtwins (4078), Nesconset, New York, USA Jul 4, 2006 Poured a very dark brown color with a ruby tint and minimal head. The aroma smelled like spent coffee grains, roasted malt, and a fair amount of ash. The flavor was a little on the small side. Raosty with some tartness. SpringsLicker (2041), Tennessee, USA Jul 4, 2006 Thanks to whoever brought this to share at kp’s Cellar Party.
A black pour that produces a creamy head of tan.
The aroma is roasty and a bit smoky with diminished coffee notes.
A bitter and dry stout that might use a bit more sweetness to really fit the sweet stout style. A bit more body would bump this up as well. decaturstevo (1971), decatur, Tennessee, USA Jul 3, 2006 An allmost black pour with a nice tan head. A good strong taste of coffee and chocolate. A good finishing bitter. A somewhat watery palate kept me from rating this beer higher. It was a good beer. Diogène (543), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jun 25, 2006 Updated: May 21, 20091L bottle. Black with a thin beige head. Aroma of roasted barley, chocolate malt, chocolate, coffee, vanilla and toffee. Taste is pretty much the same, really taste the raw roasted barley and chocolate malt in this one. The finish is a little watery. A really good sweet stout. madsberg (4873), Søborg, Denmark Jun 17, 2006 Bottled @ Sk8vikings blind porter/stout tasting. Beer no. 9: Pitch black. Dense light brown head. Sweetness, coffee, light smoke and light fruits in the aroma. Flavour is quite grassy and roasty. Has cocoa and coffee notes. Light spices are notable. Smooth and mild body. Is light bitter in the end. henrikb (1298), Aarhus, Denmark Jun 8, 2006 Tasted blind at Sk8vikings amazing Porter/Stout tasting - Black body, big creamy head, laces; Big nose, but quite 1-dimensional, lot of coffee, small red berries, dark roasted coffee beans (African), grassy, very little dark brown sugar; Huge soft carbonation in a soft balanced neutral body; Into very long but very neutral, and a bit thin finish, a lot of milky chocolate, some cold coffee. I don’t think this beer has a lot of character, but a great ++ for it changing through the single mouthful as well as the glass of beer I had. Storm (2685), Amager, Denmark Jun 8, 2006 Bottle. Pitch black colour with a nice creamy head. Hard aroma of coffee. Smooth flavour of coffee, little roastedness, and very much flavour of dark chocolate. Emil (6075), Copenhagen, Denmark Jun 5, 2006 Bottle. Black colour with a beige head. Roasted, coffee, vanilla aroma and taste, dry. Medium body with a coffee finish.
