Bottle courtesy of thewolf: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a small dirty brown head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of coffee and light roasted malt dominated. Taste was well balance between some dry coffee notes and light black chocolate with some light roasted malt notes. Body had a creamy texture which was quite enjoyable as well as some adequate carbonation. Alcohol was not discernable. While not being blown away by this beer, I really enjoyed the experience and wouldn’t mind having this again.

I think I owe ungstrup thanks for bringing this to RBSG 2006. I also owe him credit for my being able to have conversation about immigration trends in Denmark and a truly international sports conversation (with richlikebeer). Black with copper around the edges. The aroma is a bit of brownies. A bit of stinging peppery alcohol. The body is thinner than I expected.
