Many thanks to Ungstrup for this one, RBSG 06. One of the standout beers on a long night of standout beers. Beautiful head texture; large bubbles with strong retention. Looks like an event. Dark chocolate, roasted malts on the nose. Bitter chocolate in a layered mouthfeel. Coffee. Nice carbonation on the tongue. Long finish. 9/5/9/5/18 ... Rerate, courtesy of sk8viking. Thanks, Rene! Slightly hotter than I remember; still the best coffee stout I’ve ever had. 9/5/9/4/17.

Oct 10, 2008 Great nose, beautiful head. Kept getting more and more flavorful. Too bad I only had one. Becoming a real fan of Danish beer.

Oct 9, 2008 Bottle. Old rating. Simply divine flavors in this brew... it is loaded with coffee and chocolate, roastiness and dark fruit with a smooth lingering roasty bitter finish.

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle thanks to BMan113VR via zathrus13. Black brown pour with a bubbly head. Nose is coffee, earth, and roasted malt. Very dark and earthy but hard to pin down. Top soil? Taste is just a roasted but controlled coffee bomb and chocolate. Great stout. A caged tiger that could easily be turned loose to make a vicious impy stout.

Oct 7, 2008 thanks to Julien Allen for this one! - pours a dark black colour under a solid creamy dark beige foam; beautiful lacing; deep aroma of black chocolate, cocoa powder and tobacco; a touch of gentian and fairly roasted; good malt body with a moderate and subtle carbonation; very dry and bitter; long dry aftertaste of espresso, tobacco and milk chocolate - beautiful

Oct 7, 2008 Bottle thanks to zathrus13. Did not have at breakfast...sadly.... Pour inky with a large, dark brown, creamy tight head with a black body with decent lacing and good retention. Aroma is over very fresh coffee, oatmeal cookie, flowers, chocolate, brown sugar and overall smells dark. Taste is fresh coffee roast, chocolatey with no alcohol at all. Deecently smokey. Nothing spectacular, but a good stout. Smooth mouthfeel, light bubbles.
