On-tap at Orsted in Copenhagen.
Pours black with a one-finger tan head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of lightly roasted malts with boozy dark fruits - mostly plums with hints of raisins.
Tastes similar to how it smells. The roasted malt flavors kickting things off are a bit stronger than the aroma intimates. Midway through the sip very light amounts of charred malt and heavier amounts of dark fruit flavors enter into things - plums and raisins as in the smell. The fruit flavors carry through to a mildly bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is OK. It's a bit on the thin side with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I didn't have a problem finishing my glass and could have another.
Overall this was a big porter that hid its alcohol well but other than that it just wasn't as flavorful as it should be. Still, it's worth seeing for yourself.
