Apr 4, 2006 Clear dark brown body. Roast and chocolatey aroma - pretty light. Cocoa powder and start flavor with bitter dry chocolate in the finish. Weka and uninspiring.

Mar 28, 2006 Bottle, courtesy of sk8viking! Poured a medium brown with a short-lived, loose beige head. I only found a small dose of the expected chocolate presence in the nose... found medium berries, other dark fruits, caramel, and twigs in the mildly-roasted aroma. Dark fruits also had a solid presence in the flavor department.. with dry chocolate, heavy bread dough, licorice, and lightly-roasted coffee rounding it out. Light-medium bodied and a tad sticky on the front half of the palate, evolving to graininess at the back-end. Decent and interesting stout... but far from great.

Mar 26, 2006 Thanks Jason! Pours to a dark brown body with a thin white head. The aroma is hard to describe. Perhaps black licorice and black currants? The flavor is very light. Sweet malts. Light black currant. The palate is medium bodied and slick.

Feb 4, 2006 Sample from a bottle at a beer tasting event on The Rover in Gothenburg, January 14, 2006.
Very nice dark color. Clear chokolate in scent and taste. A bit of coffee in the flavor as well.
Not the best of the Semper Ardens series, but far from the more commercial Carlsberg products.

Jan 18, 2006 Bottle. Opaque/mahogany, thin looking beige head. Simple and smooth chocolate flavor, not much else going on except for some roasted coffee notes. Very similar to Sam Adam’s Chocolate Bock, but at least it isn’t $20/bottle.

Jan 15, 2006 Dark. Much chocolate in aroma and taste. OK but stouts are not my favourite beers.

Jan 14, 2006 Very nice sweet stout, but the price for it is very high in the super markets, but it is all worth trying it out. Good kind of spicy flavour.

Jan 12, 2006 Bottle. Brown head. Very dark red body. Choccolate aroma. Choccolate caramel flavor. Pleasantly low carbonated. Bitterness just tastable. I feel like tossing a lump of vanilla icecream into it! Hardly a secret now: I like it.
