A - Dark brown beer with some red on the edges. Tan head left a ring and some minor bubbles on the sides of the glass.
S - Kind of char heavy with some roast, cocoa, and coffee. Doesn't smell particularly sweet.
T - Toasted and roasted malts. There is some of the char you get with the Danish stouts. Some coffee, little bitterness. Flavor is slightly watered down.
M - Smooth, lower carbonation, a little thin.
O - Not a bad beer. Heavy on the roast and the char, but could use some more elements to fill it out.

A "Danish" stout brewed in collaboration with the guys at Amager. Guessing this was named after Kristina from West Lakeview Liquors? On-tap at the Goose Island May BA gathering. Multiple pint-sized tasters consumed.
A - A finger of big-bubbled foam that dissipates to a thin ring and light haziness. Dark brown body with ruby-brown highlights at the fringes.
S - Is there rye malt in this? It's a little zesty, with some earthiness and a touch of spicy alcohol peaking through. There's some smoke and char notes as well. Not much in the way of sweetness to balance things out.
T - Toasted malt that verges on a touch of boxy cardboard. A little burnt as well. There's some light fruitiness, but not enough sweet flavors to even up the equation. Reminds me a little of Extremely Naughty Goose - wouldn't surprise me if the malt bill or yeast strain was identical.
M - Smooth, minimal heat, soft medium body. Quite pleasant, with a light sticky finish. Best aspect of this beer.
D - I had two pours of this, and it was pretty easy to drink. That being said it wasn't interesting enough for me to seek out again deliberately.
Would be nice to know the ABV and intended "style" for this one, if someone at GI can chime in.
