500 ml bottle purchased a year ago at Holiday Wine Cellar ($8.79). Pours pitch black with two fingers of dark tan head having excellent retention (indeed, foam started coming out of the bottle as soon as I popped the cap off). Aroma of tarry roasted malts, tobacco, lightly spicy rye bread, and some cocoa powder. Flavor has lots of spiced "varietal" dark chocolate, lightly burnt dark rye bread, tangy dark caramel, and a hint of smokiness. There’s a relaly nice level of sweetness in the taste here. Full bodied and quite creamy mouthfeel with some lingering dark chocolate. Lovely brew, but I sometimes ask myself if these Scandinavian beers are really worth the high price tag once they make it to the US west coast. (309, 591)

08/05 0.5 l bottle courtesy of ogivlado, great thanks for sharing! It poured pitch black body with small brown ebony head. Very fine aroma of roasted malt, especially rye, then chocolate and pumpkin. Flavor is characterized by the distinct pumpkin seed with, of course, roasted malt. No coffee though, some light traces possible. Medium bodied with typical, long overbaked rye bread and sweetish chocolate finish and slightly unpleasant acidity. Nice one for sure anyway, although when I see how high it rates, it might even be better.

Bottle. Black with a brown head. Aroma: chocolate, cocoa powder, lightly roasted malt, bready spices. Taste: chocolate, roasted malt, lactose, licorice, slightly acidic, syrup, bread spices, some ashes, medium bitter. Above medium-bodied, smooth. Would definitely have liked this at the Christmas table.

Pours pitch black with medium khaki head. Aroma roasted caramel malt, chocolate, brown sugar, some spice and licorice. Similar taste, excellent smooth finish. Nice slick/creamy mouthfeel, moderate carbonation. Really enjoyed this one.

Pours a lacing tan head with a dark brown body. Aromas of roasted malt and molasses. Flavor is roasted malt, molasses, some brown sugar, dark bread notes. Finish is thick, lasting, slightly dry.

Drunk to celebrate my rating number 21,300. Bottled. A pitch black beer with a huge dark brown head. The aroma has notes of sweet and roasted malt, bread, and a bit of spice. The flavor is quite sweet with notes of coffee, bread both newly cut and some toasted, sweet and roasted malt, and just a hint of spice, leading to a dry toasted finish.

Bottle @ Pannuhuone, Kuopio. Originally rated on 8.5.2010. Nice, well balanced porter. Notes of roasted malts, rye and caramel.

(Bottle, thanks Dunbar 72!) Pours black with a brown head. The aroma holds dark rye bread, subtle spices, dusty roast, coffee and "green" hops up front. Undertones of asphalt, ginger, blueberries and black currant. The flavour is light sweet to dry, medium to heavily bitter and light acidic. Tones of asphalt, coffee, dark bread, spices and maybe some dark berries. Surprisingly hoppy. The mouthfeel is round, creamy and smooth with a light to medium carbonation. Lingering citric hoppy finish. Medium to full bodied. One of my all time favourite brewers.
