pretty strange wheaty-herbal slightly salty aroma. can't say it's pleasant.
flavor have aspects of berliner weisse, but also some hay like cardboard like herbal notes that seem way off. quite watery palate, faint sweet cereral and sweet malts. not quenching at all.

hazy almost milky , white smooth head.
very very good hoppy aroma, herbal us west coast hoppy, some smoothness from malts, good flavorful sweet malty balance, low hazy-licorice like note, quite close to exactly how i like my hazy aroma.
flavor is juicy hoppy with exotic fruity notes and sugared grapefruit and a sweet malty ending, very easy drinking and very pleasant to drink, somehow the hops balance the sweetness and makes it quite okay.
does not feel like it's abv is too high, or taking things to an extreme, comes off as balanced and very flavorful

clear to slightly cloudy yellow, huge white head.
citrussy , slightly sweet flowery and sweet malty aroma. refreshing.
good hoppy bitterness, flowery and hoppy slightly citrussy flavor, crisp malts. really nice pils like bitterness to balance the malts. does not really taste very nonal'ish.

Thick and heavy aroma, dark chocolate, roasted malts, dark chocolate cake, tonga beans, phenolic alc. hit, booze lagered in steel tanks, sniffing this when you have a cold, will probably kill the cold, not the aroma. faint vanilla. faint fresh coconut juice.
poured black with a brown head that soon disappeared
Flavor is really good, clearly better than aroma. salt licorice, roasted malts, dark chocolate cake, do i get a faint hint of bourbon? , alc is not very well sensed except the beer feels like it packs a punch, very solid, full bodied and fairly layered and complex. the bourbon is blended so well in, that it's not the first i notice, but it does its wonders anyway.

pitch dark with a surprisingly dark large dark brown head tht does not last long.
aroma is smokey, caramelly, dark bitter toffee, cheap chocolate dessert fillings, flattish, sweet cheap licorice.. not very good really.
flavor is better. salt licorice, cheap dark filled, chocolate, faint sourish/fruty note, honey. better but not really good.
I understand it's hard to make a NA black beer, but guinness 0.0 is proof it is possible. This one is off imho.

dark with a fine brown head that soon reduces to a film head at the edges.
roasted malts and a hint of bourbon, quite balanced with not that much wood and bourbon going on, unfortunately, but the borbon is super well rounded and smooth. aroma is quite traditional bourbon imp stout, chocolate, coconut, vanilla, licorice, faint wood, roasted malts, while not the most powerful bourbon imp stout , it is one of the most velvety and balanced.
flavor is roasted malts, bourbon, wood, faint licorice, faint chocolate all very well blended and very soft, end is roasted malty with bourbon, licorice chocolate.
A very balanced and smooth beer.

Brewed for 7/11 in Denmark.
pours brown with a giant light brown creamy head.
aroma is coffee, roasted coffee, cola nuts, roasted malts (dry, not sweet), a bit similar to guinness but less sweet, much more coffee. grinded non-sweet nuts.flavor is coffee, faint lacto like note, dry roasted malts, end is slightly lacto-like sweet, more roasted coffee, some bitter caramel, some dry roasted malts. really hard to find the hops in this one, perhaps slightly flowery pilsener like hops were used. The flowery note is probably the wheat malts, not the hops. I would much prefer a guienness, but then if I really needed coffee and the machine was out, this might be an alternative option.
Not bad as such, though. it's just hard to compete in coffee-stout-land.
The 7/11 coffee in DK is a lot better than this beer.
The beer really really reminds me of the traditional smokey brown danish bars, tastes like the day before hangover.

pitch black to very very very dark brown, small brown head that is bubbly and soon goes away.
A really nice, quite layered and complex aroma that starts out as wood, vanilla, roasted malts and hints of booze, dark caramel, dark chocolate. It has a tiny boozy almost a bit phenolic sting to it, if it was not for that, i'd give it 9 in aroma. some of my very favorite BCBS does not have this phenolic note, most black beers around 16% abv have it a lot more, and i don't really like it. the vanilla and wood and bourbon really blends well into a composite but even note, really good.
flavor is bourbon, roasted malts, vanilla, wood, dark chocolate, faint licorice, a boozy note, sorry to say, but a bit like cheap booze, very faint slightly fruity note , a bit like a liquer, but very faint. End is bourbonish and roasted malty.
I think this one needs some more years to get that boozy note to go mostly away. tasted feb 2026, bottle was 2021 i'd say give it 2-3 more years.
