Tap @ Olympen, Oslo. This is a dark dark brown-red beer with a small creamy tanned lacing head. Kinda sweet and light burned in the aroma with notes of caramel, thin and lightly sour red fruits and perhaps even some hints of chocolate. Average to soft carbonation, medium to full-bodied and it has a nice creamy mouthfeel. Strong and nice roasted flavors with lots of milk chocolate, some red dried fruits and perhaps something that actually could remind me a bit of bourbon. Has nice hints of cocoa in the finish and a nice roasted aftertaste. Not bad at all this one!

Kissmeyer London porter. On tap at olympen... Pours sligtly darker
than cola, reddish edges, and topped with a light beige head, quickly
dissipating light beige head... Aroma of roast and a medium
chocolatiness, touch of dark fruit to follow-up... Flavors are a bit
lighter and not as sweet with supporting bitter chocolate notes and a
semi-bitter finish. Not as big on chocolate and more hoppy than
expected. Thinbodied with medium carbonation.

On tap. This has been a very pleasant porter experience for me. A little bit toasty and hoppy with a light body; it has a dark brown colour and a medium persistence froth. I like it very much.

Tap (Pikkulintu, Helsinki)
5 Smells like a dunkel. Grainy, but more like a lager than an ale.
4 Dark brown, tan head.
5- Nice grainy palate, sweetish. Still convinced this is a lager. Later it starts to remind me of a sewer a bit.
3 Grainy finish.
10 OK for a lager. Just can’t see porter here.
