(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy amber golden with a warm, underlying orange glow. Huge and frothy off-white head that only dissipates very slowly. Malty, caramelish aroma. Rustic and somewhat artisanal touch. Sweetish malty yet with a faint underlying tartness. Hops do appear to add a bitter finish. Not bad, just a bit flawed and inharmonious. 201105

On tap at Fynske Øldage, Odense, Denmark. Coppercoloured with a brown head. Hazy. Sweet malty aroma. Belgo-sweet with spices in flavor. Bitter finish. Rating: 5-4-6-3-13-3.1. (051029)
Bottle. (2006 vintage, maybe 2005) It pours a clear, copper body under a minimal beige head. Bready malts, caramel, a wee touch of coffee, a note of dried fruits and a starting oxidation in the aroma. Quite pleasant. Fruity flavor up front, soon assisted by bready and caramelly malts, a tiny touch of oxidation and dried fruits. Quite sweet, but not too sweet. It gives a little impression of spicyness towards the finish. Strange, but after a while, some alcohol warmth spreads on the palate. Quite effervescent. Sweet, caramel finish with a fine touch of bitterness. It bears the age quite well, and I’m no longer angry with myself for letting this one be forgotten in my cellar. (090126)

Bottle at London Gathering Nov 2005. Maeib tried to teach me how to pronounce the name, but I still can’t get the hang of it. Black beer with lasting beige head. Really, really, really chocolatey with some butterscotch. Quite good in mouth. Nice dark fruits. Bit over the top, but nice to sip

Bottle at London Gathering Nov 2005. Very deep chestnut coloour with thickish beige lasting head. Some stilton on the aroma (either that or the cheese had started to waft by then). Some brown sugar with more stilton and some sweet alcohol. Not a bad finish

Dark amber color; big creamy head. Very nice aroma, malty with notes of milk chocolate, cocoa beans, burnt sugar. Medium body structure, but fairly good balance of malt, caramel and bitterness. Some mixed caramel and bitterness in the palate. Very enjoyable Dunkel.

Bottle, as Kjaerstrup Chocolate Stout. Aromas of vanilla, chocolate, butter, caramel. Dark brown with tan head. Taste is much the same, like a crossover between a sweet chocolate toffee and a stout. Probably it will be too overwhealming to drink a bottle, but I sheared it with four friends, and then it was good. Rating: 6-4-8-3-17-3.8. 050923
Bottle, as Choko Stout. It’s a dark chestnut beer, clear, and with a small, beige head. Chocolate, dried fruits, some hints of DMS and a pleasant roasted touch in the aroma. Coffee, chocolate and dried fruits in the flavor, finishing with mostly chocolate. Medium body. A nice beer indeed, but not as nice as I remember it from five years ago, guess my palate has evolved. 100917

500 ml bottle, bought in Denmark. ABV is 5.7%. Dark ruby nearly black colour, large tan head. Aroma is overhelming chocolate (like chocolate sauce), artificial vanilla, cocoa, candy and caramel. Definitely too much of all the sweet aromas. Flavour is not quite as overwhelmingly sweet as the aroma makes you fear, but pretty close. Again: too much chocolate, cocoa and artificial vanilla, some coffee notes too. I’m not amused. Couldn’t finish the bottle.

Bottled, alc. 5.7 % (BB 03/2006, different label than in RB photo)
Dark ruby, good tanned head, lace. Strong nose of milk chocolate and vanilla pudding. Suprisingly this is not very sweet - more like hoppy bitter with dark chocolate (coffee, cocoa). Long bitter aftertaste with burnt coffee beans.

Another good beer fram Svaneke. Wonderfull appearence, excellent off-white head, fully lasting, week aroma but delicate with hints of citrus, malt and chocolate, heavy bitter flavour, but average finish, a little bit watery for this type of beer.
