nicolascage (102), Copenhagen (Virum), Denmark Nov 12, 2007 Bottle. Head disappears fast. Lot of liquorice, some chocolate taste too. nice well balanced
Quack-Duck (1698), Bodensee, Germany Aug 13, 2008 bottle, traded with jeverszeuge. Very dark brown colour, small but creamy beige head. Complex aroma of malt, roasetd malt and caramel. Very smooth mouthfeel, well-balanced flavours of roasetd malt, caramel, toffee and honey. Just the right sweetness, well rounded with a good portion of aromatic hops. A very nice beer. austone (305), Turku; Pori, Finland Jul 27, 2008 Dark opaque brown, small and fizzy brown head. Sweet syrupy nose, some coffee and alcohol. Extremely alcoholic flavor, little burned malts, dry coffee and a bit vinous finish. Watery, hollow palate. I just wonder how they can make the 7,8% ABV shine out this way. I guess you have to really use malts to make a good impy. Syrup, water and yeast just don’t go that far. Rune (1508), Tromsø, Norway Jun 8, 2008 330ml bottle at The Carlsberg Visitors Centre, Copenhagen. Ink-black body under a beige, two-finger head. Rather weak in aroma with hints of dark malts. Smoky, dark malts in flavour supported by bittersweet liquorice. A decent porter, I would say (shared with Finn Arvid, 29.05.2008). mybestfriend (250), Gothenburg, Sweden May 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours a black colour with a beige head. Aroma is very smokey - bacon, fläsksvålar and meat stock. Flavour has some sweetness. Loads (and I mean LOADS!) of bacon, fläsksvålar and meat stock once again. A hint of bitterness. Holy smoke (pun intended) this beer was really interesting and funny! It got way too meaty for me though. Try it! charlotte (1163), Vanløse, Denmark May 6, 2008 Black with beige head.Aroma of liqurice androsted coffee.Flavor is sweet with mild mouthfeels.Finish is a littel to short to make this a great porter.
