Papsoe (11076), Frederiksberg, Denmark Dec 3, 2008 Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of Skyview. Completely opaque black with a light brown head. Aroma of burned malt and bitter dark chocolate. Medium body with hard roasted malts and some bitter chocolate and a whiff of vanilla. Dry malt bitter finish. 221108 kevd193213 (350), Coventry, Rhode Island, USA Nov 30, 2008 12 oz bottle. Dark brownish black pour with a nice thick coffee head. Aroma of roasted malt and bitter chocolate. Thin mouthfeel but tasty. Nice dry but sweet finish. Good beginner stout. dbcahill (11), Deer Lake, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 29, 2008 Bought it at an Acme while visiting family in Akron, OH. Quite watery for a stout and has a thin head. Chocolate hint, but more of a roasted malt taste. Medium palate. I’ll finish the six-pack, but won’t likely buy it again. obxdude10 (1403), Reading, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 27, 2008 I finally got to rating #1400! A milestone I’ve been looking forward to for more than a year. It took me that long because my "new" beer drinking has taken a back seat to just about everything else going on. But I finally made it! This chocolate stout is drinkable and smooth and tastes pretty decent, but isn’t exciting or outstanding in any way. I like the dark color and the big tan head. The flavors were pretty average, but with a very light and watery body. If this beer featured a heavier and more flavorful body, it would be amoung the better stouts out on the market. But it certainly falls short. There is definitely quite a bit of chocolate, coffee and vanilla notes in this beer, but the light body and finish is too great to ignore. This was definitely a bit of a disappointment. If there was just a little more body to it, this would be a great stout. yespr (7788), Copenhagen O, Denmark Nov 27, 2008 12 fl oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a diminished tan head. Smooth and roasted malty aroma with a nice chocolate note. Medium sweet and roasted malty with a light chocolate malty flavour. Smooth chocolate malty finish. Light bitter and slight acidic flavoured into a mild malty finish.
