Spicy. Caraway, some rye bread, but the aroma disappears rather fast. Sourdough, dry hops. Interesting, will try this one in a larger measure, maybe with some Danish Style herring.

Bottled. Pitch black colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is very sweetish sour liquorice along with roasted malts, coffee and mild alcohol. Flavour is spices, liquorice and quite much roasted malts and coffee. Feels way more burning alcoholic in the flavour than 7.5 sounds...Otherwise very nice.

4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours almost black with a great, big, creamy, cappucino head. Wonderful duration and fine lacings. Aroma is sweet, roasted malts, some chocolate, light vegetable, a good deal of liqourice. Low carbonation, fine creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, chocolatey with light roasted notes. The finish is wonderfully spicy with liqourice and fennel. This balanced the malty fatness and sweetness very nice. Christian sure knows his porters!

50 cL bottle. Pours pitch black with a thick, creamy and chocolate brown head. Light fruity, hard roasted malt, breadish, vague liqourice and vague sugarish aroma. Liqourice, dark chocolate, mild coffee and breadish roasted malt. Vague sweetness nicely counterbalanced by a good bitterness. Vague roasted acidity too. Fennel spiced finish. Smooth and solid flavourful brew, a bit too much fennel.
