aroma:something sour-sock / sour-milk in there that i don’t like, apart from that major distraction, decent stoutish aroma. looks : pours dark, dark brown. black in the glass. thick brown-light-brown head. flavor:balanced, ends up with a delicious , little bit sweet very roasted flavor, the beginning is a bit more tame and slightly fruity. also a very subtle sourish thing (milk from aroma) that i don’t like. the flavor after the initial impression, however, is good. palate is a little bubbly, if they could get rid of the sourmilkish thing, this would’ve been a great imp stout. as it is, still good, and a beer to be enjoyed slowly.

Bottled (from Ölkonsortiet, Aalborg). Pitch black colour, mediumsized brown foamy/creamy head. Leaves some lace. Aroma is roasted malts, some caramel and quite nice toffeeish notes. Also some very slight notes of metal. Flavour is mild roast, some caramel and quite bigtime metallicness. Toobad, since the metallic notes in the flavour ruins this beer totally. Atleast when cold.

On tap @ European Beerfistival. Pours black with a tanned head. Sweet with aromas of roasted malts. Some caramel notes. Tiny hints of metals. Medium carbonation. Medium to heavy body. Slightly sticky mouthfeel. Dry finish again with a hint of metals. Good well-balanced and clean brew with a no-nonsens attitude.

Draught at SOPP 2008, Helsinki. Black color with creamy tan head. Coffee, charcoal, chocolate and licorice in the aroma. Sweet, sugary, worty and mildly roasty flavor with salty licorice, dark rye bread, charcoal and low bitterness. Chewy mouthfeel with low carbonation. Too sweet.

(Draught at SOPP2008) Almost black. Largish tan head. Roasted malts and liquorice in nose. Full palate with little carbonation. Liquorice, coffee, bitterness and lightly vanilla in taste. Long-lasting aftertaste.
