Copenhagen 16/2 2021. 44 cl can from Best of Beers web-shop. Dark can with wooden strutures in pink.

Pours opaque dark brown with a small beige head, Bubbly. Settles as thin rim of foam running along the side of the glass. No lacing.

Aroma is intense with a strong, candy-sweet odor mingling with a modest tart streak. Sugared cherries, almonds. marzipan, milk chocolate. Tart berries.

Light carbonation. Medium thick, oily, slightly sticky, almost flat texture.

Flavor is intense with a strong sweetness followed by a modest tart sourness. Aftertaste is very sweet- Lingering. Finish is sugary with touch of dark alcohol.

Powerful and very, very sugary sweet.

440 ml can in the Vocation Barrel Aged Series - Imperial Kirsch, Chocolate & Cherry Stout. From Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 11.0%. Pitch black colour, small brown head. Aroma of sweetish and roasty malts, chocolate and cherries, hints of oak and cognac. Very sweet flavour, with the same elements as the aroma. Low bitterness.

440ml can from Tesco (£5):
Dark ruby to black, opaque & thick as it pours with a thin, bubbly head that's tan brown but faded to a patchy lacing quite quickly; expected given the abv. It's a sweet, strong nose with plenty cherries, sugars & chocolate with a boozy finish. The sweetness goes into overdrive come the taste, it's sickly sweet with huge amounts of cherry, chocolate & syrupy, almost caramelised dark fruits with dates & maybe a little raisin too. It's thick, full bodied & very sugary, it's almost undrinkable it's that sweet. Very disappointing, definitely one to avoid.
