Draught@CPH BF 2011. Black colour, small head. Aroma is burned gunpowder, some roasted malts, ashes and stuff. Flavour is gunpowder, toasted notes and some earth.

Bottle, as St uten. It pours a finger-thick, brown head over a seemingly black body. If it’s possible for a beer to smell thin, this one does, but it’s nice anyway. A pleasant mocha chocolate aroma escapes the glass or bottle while pouring, soon being overtaken by cold, strong coffee when sticking the nose into the glass. Roasted malts and a pleasant hoppyness too. Some vanilla rounds it of. In the mouth it’s as expected quite thin, more or less watery, and very dry, giving it some quenching qualities. Seems this one’s gonna be my lawnmower beer this summer. There’s flavors of roasted, almost burnt malts, coffee, resiny, citrus peel-like hops and a pleasant roasted-style bitterness. Short finish. Well, I guess I’m gonna be accused of homerism with this rating, but I have the back to bear it. It’s a damn fine alcohol free (alcohol free in terms of taxation at least) beer I hope will be readily available and have many sisters and brothers. 110611

Black with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, toffee and toasted bread. Same notes on the flavour, with a touch of hops. Thin as expected, but not to the point of making it undrinkable. Roasted finish and aftertaste.

Roasty aroma with strong notes of coffee. Roasty dry flavour, notes of coffee and dark chocolate. Fairly bitter finish with some resinous notes.
