Copenhagen 5/2 2026. 50 cl bottle from Spar, Støberigade, Kbh. SV. Black label with the proud ship Sophie of Sønderho drawn in a thin blue line.
Pours opaque dark brown with a small light beige head. A bit bubbly. Settles as a thin ri of foam running along the side of the glass. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is fairly intense with a sweet malty odor mingling with a potent scent of barrel and alcohol. Dark malts and lactose. Brown sugar. Toffee and caramel. Whiff of espresso coffee and dark alcohol.
Low carbonation. Thick, oily, soft, a little sticky, viscous and kind of flat texture.
Flavor is intense with a strong boozy sweetness followed by a moderately strong bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet with a boozy and searing undertone. Lingering. Finish is potent and sweet.
A fine boozy blend.
