On bottle 0,5l at Tromsø Ølfestival 17 Aug 06. Dark golden. A creamy lasting head. Very sweet impression and hardly any bitterness. As a stout this is rather watery. A ladies’ beer?

I’m going to call this a stout that someone dumped a bottle of lager into. First off it didn’t have the typical black, opaque colour of a stout, rather a dark brown that was lighter around the edges. Taste was way too light for a stout. Had some elements like coffee, some sweetness (toffee?) and a subtle bitterness as well. Aroma was caramel and malts.

Hints of coffee and sweet dark bread in the aroma as well as taste. Very dark in color. Quite bitter and suprisingly thin and waterlike. No viscosity which is odd, since it is a stout. To be honest, neihter very bad nor very good.

Bottle - Pours out opaque black with a thin tan head. Smells roasted malt licorice and a slight hop almost skunk aroma. Thin quite sweet stout rather one dimentional but not a bad sesion stout if you can handle the sweetness. Needs a a little bittering hops to round out the finish.

Øl købt i Føtex for 15 kr. Stout ??? - Den mangler kraft og er mere a la tysk schwarz beer. Øllen er mørkebrun, og har et brunt sæbeagtigt skum, der relativt hurtigt forsvinder. Nå man dufter til den første gang dufter den som en flad Hof. Smagen er dog som en hof der er brændt på. Kulsyren er også som en hof. Ikke en øl, som jeg vil drikke igen.

Bottle. Weak aroma with a hint of liquorice. Almost black colour, small stable head. The flavour is roasted, perhaps roast barley. Weak liquorice flavour. High carbonation. Quite boring.
