In so many ways Paul Przezdzienkowski should have been happy about his life. He had a distinct talent, and he had his parents' support to pursue this talent in full. His mom and dad worked extreme hours in their tiny pawnshop to be able to pay for their son’s piano lessons with fellow Polish immigrant Professor Potemkowski. Not only Chopin, but also Dobrzyński, Badarzewska & Wieniawski – Paul worked his way through all the old dudes, and he was damned good at it. But Paul was not happy. He was small in more ways than one – and he was fed up with all the vicious teasing in the shower stalls after gym class. Paul started drifting after school, and one afternoon he found himself inside the Jedynka Dance Hall, not really remembering how he managed to get in. But the colors, the lights, the girls – it was all a revelation to him. And the music – the music of course. So much more alive than what he had been used to with his foul-breathed Polish piano teacher. Within a year Paul was the lead piano player in the club – Chopin had been substituted with Scott Joplin. Formally The Jedynka had Polish management, but everyone knew that Italian godfather Dario Daddano was behind. And between the Italian mobster and the hollow-breasted Polish teenager a strange friendship soon developed. Paul – now also famous for his somewhat exaggerated pant package and his tiny Cobra one shot Derringer – was thus an obvious choice as the first Entertainment Manager when Dario opened a dance club associated with the new Dario & Daddano Brewing Company.

Strong stout by Amager, as usual with an needlessly elaborate fictional story attached to it - does anyone still bother reading those? Mousy, medium thick, pale yellowish-beige head over a jet black beer - looks perfectly fine. Aroma of burnt toast, lots of unsugared black chocolate, dry old liquorice, coffee grounds, walnut oil, brown rum, clove, charred beefsteak. Sweet onset but nowhere cloying, aspects of dried fig, old raisins, apple peel, light touch of beef stock-ish umami, mild carbonation and full, thick, oily body; hard-caramelly and black-chocolatey maltiness, deeply toasted-walnutty, highlighted by bittersweet, bourbon-tinged alcohol warmth with some herbal and coffee-bitter notes lingering among the mainstream of walnuts and black chocolate. The alcohol becomes just a tad too apparent in the end, producing a glimpse of unpleasant wryness, but other than that, this is a very drinkable, well-focused, very solid stout of the kind I could drink at any given time. Old school restraint meets streamlined elegance.

50 cl bottle poured into a Snifter. Near black with a creamy lightly tanned head. Sweet aroma with bourbon barrel, vanilla, liqourice, spiced rye notes. Dark malts, peated. Taste is light bitter. Full bodied. Drying roasted finish with lingering bourbon barrel. Very enjoyable.

Bottle at home. Opaque jet black color, medium sized dark brown colored head. Aroma is malts, roasted malts, heavy bourbon / whisky. Flavor has it too with a firm malt roasty bitterness. Lingering malt and liquor bitters. Body is medium, texture is quite oily, carbonation is average. Very pleasant although for me personally it could have had a bit more sweetish bourbon instead of the harsh liquor roasty bitters. Nontheless: lovely beer! 8-5-8-5-17.
