Ungstrup (11378), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 14, 2006 A black beer with a slight brown shine, underneath a brown head. The aroma is very light with hints of chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with light notes of both roasted malt and chocolate, leading to an end with a dry chocolate note. The body is a bit thin inspite of the 5.7% ABV. omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Aug 10, 2006 [Bottled, my 7000th rating, thanks chris_o!] Near black, beige head. Aroma of coffee and corn flakes. Medium sweet with rounded creamy mouthfeel and rather light body. Plenty of butterscotch and a hint of metal. Boldly flavourful., but kind of unrefined. Papsoe (10459), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jun 5, 2007 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of madsberg. Clear, chestnut brown with an off-white head. Sweetish, lightly burned malt aroma. Medium body, roasted, lightly burned malt accents and then this hard to describe lacto edge. The finish is dry. 310507 Oakes (6979), Miami Beach, Florida, USA May 20, 2006 Near black colour. Aroma is similar to Vietnamese coffee, but with a distinct nuttiness. Full body with a rich roasty character. This lends a fair bit of acrid bitterness that is offset by decadent lactose sweetness. Not entirely traditioanl given its strength (and accompanying relatively hefty body) but it is flavourful and showcases the key ingredients well. Cheers to Suttree for hooking me up with this! argo0 (6231), Washington DC, USA Oct 4, 2005 (12oz bottle) Minimal tan head atop brown-black body. Aroma is moderately sweet, milk chocolate, some roast. molasses, light coffee. Taste is moderately sweet, milk chocolate, molasses, some roast, coffee, faint smoke. Watery light-medium body, low carbonation.
