Sparkky's Coffee Chocolate Milk Stout
Double Barley Brewing

Copenhagen 30/10 2021. 35,5 cl bottle from Meny, Borups Allé. Frb. F. Drawing of what looks like a very musical cup of coffee on top of a bonfire.

Pours opaque, dark brown with a mid-sized off-white head. Settles as thin layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a sweet, slightly sugary odor of dark malts mingling with lactose and very light whiff of coffee. Roasted dark malts, bitter black coffee with a squeeze of milk.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, almost smooth, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is fairly intense with a medium sweetness followed by a quite strong bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter and lingers for a while. Finish is fairly dry.

Quite bitter and a bit dry and with enough flavor to hide an impressive ABV.

 

 

 

L: Had this beer on-tap at Double Barley, poured into a pint glass. Had a dark brown / black color and a thick, opaque texture. There was a small amount of creamy, tan-colored head that lasted an average amount of time. Fair lacing.

S: A good aroma of coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, and caramel.

T: Tasted of a bit of chocolate (not particularly pronounced), light caramel notes, an absolute ton of coffee (very dominant), and some roasted malt as well. While the other ingredients are there, the coffee is certainly the main attraction. This works, but it's not complex. Still, pretty tasty.

F: An average amount of carbonation with a silky smooth finish. Medium- to full-bodied.

O: This is a very likable, easy to drink, stout. Worth a try.

 

 

22 oz shared bottle.
Moderate coffee and more subtle chocolate. Excellent bitter-sweet balance. Aftertaste is a bit poorer.
Clear but very dark; nearly opaque brown-red body. Decent head.

Pours just about black with a caramel one inch head. On the nose you get Dark Chocolate, Caramel and some fruit. Upon tasting, the dark chocolate and caramel are the prevalent flavors. The drink is very smooth and creamy. The 11.50% is not over powering. Honestly, you don;t really taste it.

 

Super smooth for the ABV, very good stuff!

Pours nearly jet black with deep beige one finger head atop.Aromas are not huge but some caramel,dark chocolate,and sweet fruity alcohol is detected.The feel is smooth but maybe not quite as full as I would like.Dark chocolate and caramel flavors at the onset of the palate,a tinge of nuttiness with a big shot of sweet alcohol in the finish.Not bad but it seems to lack a certain punch in the feel and palate.
