Tap@Taphouse, Copenhagen - pours black with a beige head. Aroma and taste is roasted malty, slight burnt dark malty notes, dark dried fruits, with chocolate, coffee, caramel, cocoa, maybe abit to watery on the palate for me, dry roasted finish. Decent enough but no showstopper.

Donkergeel bier met veel schuim. Smaak is licht zoetzuur en licht bitter met iets van banaan en abrikoos. Is iets te licht, waterig?, van karakter.

Big bottle shared thanks to Sjogro. Dark brown with small beige head. Massive bourbon, cognac, and vanilla up front. Raisins, rye bread, brown sugar, sweet milk chocolate. Quite sweet. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation and boozy finish. Decent, but very strong on the barrel notes.

Helder geel bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is licht fris zoetzuur met iets van citrus. Komt wat waterig over. Goed, maar niet echt bijzonder.

Zwart bier met schuim. Smaak is bitterzoet en licht fruitig met iets van caramel en chokolade, echter vrij waterig. Valt wat tegen.
