Bottle. Black and poured with a small head.Slightly smoky with some maltiness. Roasted aftertaste and a medium body all add up to make this a very reasonable stout.

Bottle - Black body with a brown edge, big bubbled beige head; Super balanced big mellow nose, deep and complex; Very thin body, texture is like a pilsner with more sweetness and only a little bitterness; Tons of aroma in finish that again has a Pilsner texture, quite bitter, fruity fresh. Very very special.

500ml bottle - gift from Fin - thanks&#033; Shared with our host in Copenhagen, a closet beer nerd who really appreciated the chance to taste some English ales, so thanks from him as well&#033;<br /> Black, beige head. Burnt stout aroma. Drying bitterness in the mouth, but also quite refreshing. Burntness dominates the finish.

Almost black with tiny short lasting head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and coffe notes. Flavour likewise with chocolate aswell. Ends dry and mild bitter.
