drjay44 (164), Colorado, USA Oct 5, 2008 Draught....pours a thick, dark, creamy head with good retention, nice lacing...dark brown color...nose of coffee, cocoa, other malts...sweet taste to start, then more bitter malts, and hops come in....somewhat light mouth feel. Svesse (1818), Hässelby, Sweden Oct 5, 2008 (Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 27 Sep 2008) Very dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of freshly ground coffe beans, cocoa and liquorice. Roasted, malty taste with fresh coffee and dark chocolate. Balanced coffee bitterness in a dry finish. Rather thin body. Nice and tasty beer. Papsoe (10517), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 28, 2008 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear dark brown with a reddish hue and a creamy light brown head. Fairly roasted coffeeish aroma. Medium body with sweetish hard roasted malts and again coffee. Lightly malt bitter finish. Again a very well crafted beer from Odell. 200908 alraicercsu (106), Ft.Collins, Colorado, USA Sep 27, 2008 On tap. Pours deep brown with a good size tan head. Smells of coffee, and malt. Taste of malt and earthyness and coffee flavors. Ibrew2or3 (1756), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Sep 25, 2008 Courtesy of Gillard. Pours deep brown with tan head. The aroma is burnt malts, mildly earthy, more burnt malts mixing with dark roasted malts. The taste is similar to the nose starting with burnt malts along with mild earthiness. Midway it becomes a bit sweeter with mildly caramelized malts mixing with more burnt black patent type malts.
