Ungstrup (11385), Frederiksberg, Denmark Feb 7, 2004 Updated: Mar 29, 2008[Sampled March 2008 - tasted blind] A dark deep red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of caramel, roasted malt, and chocolate. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of caramel, but also lighter notes of chocolate and vanilla, like an ice cream topping. The hints of alcohol tickles the palate.[7/4/7/4/15=3.7]
[First sample, February 2004] A deep red beer with a fine brown head. The aroma is very fruity with roasted and stouty notes - just as a stout is supposed to be. The flavor is fantastic; sweet malty with notes of roasted malt, coffee, and hints of chocolate. A fantastic beer - one of the best I’ve had. I wish I had this one available. [7/5/10/4/19=4.5] omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Aug 5, 2003 Bottled. Black with small beige head. Roasty chocolate aroma. Sweet and mild with clean mouthfeel and capuccino finish. Papsoe (10537), Frederiksberg, Denmark Apr 12, 2008 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, reddish brown with a creamy, off-white head. Lightly sweetish aroma of chocolate and hard roasted malts. Medium body, lightly sweet roasted malt and also both chocolate and coffee notes. The finish is short and dry. Quite pleasant. 250308 Oakes (6979), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Sep 16, 2007 Light brown and hazy. Aroma of chocolate and almond, and lots of starch. The body is a bit thin. Profile is mainly chocolatey but kind of vague with the thin nuttiness of a mailed-in brown ale. It’s okay, but not nearly full enough for a milk stout. yespr (6943), Copenhagen O, Denmark Jun 26, 2007 Updated: Mar 26, 200812 oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a dark red hue, creamy milk chocolate head. Roasted malt and chocolate aroma. Creamy mouthfeel. Soft malty flavoured containing roasted malt and chocolate malt.
