Papsoe (10580), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 24, 2006 (On tap - cask) Completely black and opaque with a small, light brown head. Great aroma of sweet, hard roasted malt, raisins and alcohol. Quite low in carbonation. Very good and solid body with lots of roasted malt and some almost vinous accents. Sweet, dried fruity notes. Pleasant, subdued bitterness with no harsh or ashy edges. To me there’s a clear Top 50 potential in this beer. 200506
ekstedt (1958), Göteborg, Sweden Oct 1, 2008 Bottle (50 cl) from Ølbutikken. Black with a small head. A bit sugary roasted malt aroma with coffee, dark chocolate, liquorice, and gun powder. Medium bodied and smooth. A disharmonic mix of salt, sweet, and bitter flavours. A huge disappointment, their porter is so much better. NoiZe (954), Zeist, Netherlands Aug 28, 2008 Thnx caesar for bringing this one. Black colored brew. Aroma is malty, coffee and good chocolate bitterness. Very nice smooth flavor. Bitterness is balanced and has got great flavors, you can taste quality. Coffee, espresso beans, dark chocolate and smoked malts. Very interesting and a great taste and aroma.

Pinball (605), Allerød, Denmark Aug 15, 2008 bottle, best bf 2012. strong aroma. nicely balanced extreme imp.stout. a little alc. in the aroma. looks great, although just a small brown head. flavor is one of the very best imp stouts i have ever tasted. sweet , coffee, mild chocolate dominates, but other stuff is present. mouthfeel is thick. I consider this to be in the group of very best stouts i have tasted. Great brew. IlanMan (575), Winona, Minnesota, USA Aug 12, 2008 Dark black engine oil pour with a very dark brown head. Aroma is very roasted and burnt with dark fruit and light hops aiding. Beer was very thick with a lot of smooth chocolate blended well into itself. This is a beer to be shared and shared it was. Very good brew. Would buy again if I could find it.
