Thanks skortila for storing this beer for qutie some time. Fluorescent dark color, no head. Heavy aroma of dark chocolat, heavy coffee, bit salty which reminds of soy sauce. Taste explosion of bitter chocolat and coffee, slight sour and salty again, which is the only bad thing in this beer I would say. Lingering palate.

Bottle, 8.5%. Batch #55. Pours an oily black liquid with no head, leaving wine-like curtain on my glass when tilted. Distinct liquorice aroma with a little port to it, quite vinous. The flavour is obviously liquorice, first dry, then more salty and sweet. Then there is hoppiness, grassy, aromatic hops. The finish is roasted with a hint of malt bitterness. The mouthfeel is very oily and thick. Low and pleasant carbonation.

Inky dark brown. Not much visible carbo, nor head. Swirl it around and it sticks to the glass. Intense charred wood, plum, port, molasses with lighter nuances of chocolate. There is a lot going on here. Superroasted molasses taste. Very viscous body, sweet and a little bit oily. No shortage of woody bitterness either, but it’s a rather abrasive counter to ultra dense malts. Not complementary. One of the biggest beers I’ve had...and only 8.5%. The glass is stained, I think permanently.

Bottle. Pours a pitch black color with almost no head. Fruity vinous malty aroma with hints of caramel and dark fruits. Dry roasted thick malty chocolate flavor with some vinous hints and hints of dark fruits. Long thick malty finish with a nice bitterness in the aftertaste.

Only seconds of dark tan head; near black beer. Ureum, roasted grains, slight sourish edge, wet dog, and something perfumey. Liquorice, ureum, sweet and bitterish-roasted; little sourness, but with some definite saltiness. Finishes with lots of coffee. Very full body, tastes even heavier than it is. Titillating MF, despite the absent head. A typical full-bodied porter. A bit too much ureum, but quite good overall. Thanks Jeppe and Mikkel!

To celebrate my 1000th Danish rating, I drink this, which is the highest rated Danish beer I haven’t had - at the moment it is the 6th higest Danish beer. This gives me 4 countries with 1000 ratings or more.
A pitch black beer with a nice very dark brown head. The aroma has strong notes of dark bitter chocolate, combined with notes of oranges, and a bit of hops. The flavor is extremely powerful - quite sweet with very strong notes of dark bitter chocolate, roasted almost burnt malts, caramel, vanilla, wood, cherries, and alcohol, leading to a very bitter end where the chocolate, alcohol, and citrus from the hops lingers around. The mouthfeel is almost like tar. WOW.

Bottled at RBESG-06, GTN. Black, with some brown bubbles on top. Rounded flavor with mocha, coffee and cocoa. Alcohol, molasses, coffee, cocoa, fruityness and hops in the flavor. Dusty, drying mouthfeel. The finish is really coffee-bitter, with some alcohol and quite hoppy. A real taste-bomb, maybe a bit too much, but definately good. (060826)

[Bottled, thanks Ungstrup!] Very black, near no head. Loads of burnt malt up front. Fairly sweet with massive flavour of coffee and licorice. Very malty and rich with heavy, oily mouthfeel. Notes of burnt rye bread and tar. Shock and awe beer, but not out of balance. Ekstra indeed!
