2011-03-15, draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver, 7-4-8-4-15=38
Black color; thick creamy head, beige. Dark malts aroma, some bread dough too. Good body structure; strong flavor of roasted malts and dark chocolate, with a fair share of black coffee too, and light sourness that adds some vibe. Strong bitterness. Old School Chocolate Stout, very good.
2003-12-02, bottle, 7-4-8-4-15=38
Black, with a thin brown head. Aroma of liquorice, tar, roasted malt. Thick, malty, roasted malt, coffee, liquorice, dark chocolate. Strong roasted bitterness. Good but nothing more.
A big thank to Jens (Ungstrup), Jacob (Lövenlund) and Rasmus (Nørrebro Bryghus) for all the effort!

Copper-amber color; poor head. Very strange, but nice, perfumy aroma, fruits (oranges, apricots), rhum, spices… Dry mouthfeel, ordinary. Finishes with a mild caramel/bitterness. Good try for the aroma, but the rest...

Strong aroma of toasted malt and chocolate. Surprisingly thin-bodied for an Imperial Stout, although the dark brown body is opaque. Very slight tan ring of carbonation clinging to the glass. Flavor is dominated by strong toastiness, with chocolate and dark fruit also providing character. Rich, but too thin-bodied for an Imperial. I prefer my Imperials syrupy and over-the-top.

This tastes almost identical to their brooklyner weiss - lots of lemon and coriander in the aroma and flavor - cloudy golden appearance - wheat comes through in the finish - a decent wit.

[Vintage 2001 sampled November 12, 2003] The aroma is sweet malty with notes of alcohol, and apples. A fantastic aroma. The color is dark amber and it has a beutiful though disappearing head. The flavor is slightly fruity and sweet malty in the beginning with good notes of slightly sour apples, bananas, and burnt caramel. In the middle a slight but undistingable alcohol runs over the tongue. It starts out gently but explodes in a cascade of flavor impressions in the end. A beer doesn't get much better than this. Great thanks to Garret Oliver for bringing this one to Denmark.

On draught at Winking Lizard (w/ a logo glass!). Dark mahogany color with a thin beige head. Thin and slow lacing. The aroma is roasty and malty. Medium body with a nice smooth malt and caramel flavor. There is a mildy nutty aftertaste with a bit of hops thrown in. All in all this is a smooth and drinkable Brown.

Brooklyn brewed this all organic beer, supposedly to celebrate the fact that their brewery is now the first building in NYC to be 100% wind-powered - what better way to celebrate than with a great porter like this? - heavy aroma of cocoa and coffee - very roasty flavor, quite dry, almost bitter, no sweetness that I can really detect, unlike some of the other great porters I've had - bit of a dry finish, leaving a chocolate flavor lingering on the tongue - good stuff.

Slightly biscuity - slight spice and a tiny bit of pumpkin - thin bodied, watery finish - decent flavor, but lacking in most other respects.

Pours a rich dark caramel brown, with a thin, creamy, lacing off-white head. Aroma is nutty with some chocolate and hops notes. Very rich, dry flavor: nuts, chocolate, caramel bread, and a hint of dark fruits at the end of the sip. Medium hops. A very nice brown ale.

Clear golden colour with a large dense white head. This is a Pils by appearance! Definate floral hop characteristic in the aroma with a light maltiness and a subtle sweetness. This one smells more like a Helles than a Pils. Light-Bodied; Strong malty flavour then masked by the hops. A decent amount of flavour, especially for the style. Aftertaste is more bland only showing a bit of each of the hops and malt. Overall, a good pilsner, no complaints, just not THAT special. I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.
