UPDATED: APR 1, 2009 Bottle from a Parma supermarket. Dark red, firm head. Sweet and sour aroma, some nuts. Light body, sweet malt, a little vinegary sourness, some roasted grain. Not bad, but certainly not a typical porter.

Tasting at Papsø
Black color, small head. Dusty roasted malt aroma. Dry and weak mouthfeel, with roasted malts, bad coffee. Not pleasant, too weak and roasted.

Bottle shared by KnutAlbert. Foggy brown color. Coarse tan head with big bubbles. Nice hazelnutty malt aroma. Fine fruitiness: dark dried fruits with an acidulous touch. Soft and fairly dry malt flavor with a certain lactic sourness. Light-bodied. Short, dryish malt finish. Very interesting, and quite nice actually.

Small offwhite head. Dark brown nearly black body. Raisiny biscuity malts aroma with roasty caramelly notes. Earth as well. Dry-acidic roasty chocolatey taste with vinegary notes. Thin body. Mild mouthfeel. Dry burnt coffee aftertaste. (0.33l bottle from Knut Albert.)
