4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very nice black color,small tan head that lasted for only a short time.Nice roasted malt aroma with a hint of smoke to it,chocolate and a mild fruit come through as well.Malty taste with a nice dark espresso taste coming on with only a light chocolate,as it warms i notice the chocolate comeing on a little stronger and getting slightly sweeter with the coffee starting to mellow.The hops really come through nicely on this one,giving it a nice bitterness.the after taste is a nice bitter espresso that lasts for quite some time.This is a pretty decent brew and would be nice to have a few more.Thanks PsychProf

On tap at Baran, Bergen. Pours a pretty black colour with a nice medium brown head. Aromas of delicious coffee, chocolate and some fruit. The flavour has a even more pronounced coffee touch with dark bitter chocolate, and some salt and roasted malt. Soft mouthfeel but still a bit sparkly. Bitterness = medium+. A solid and well-balanced porter. I enjoyed every sip.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours black with a reddish tinge and a brown head. Aroma of resiny hops, burnt malts, chocolate, and coffee. Strong smokey taste, creamy texture, and astringent finish. Alcohol is masked by smoke.

355ml bottle @ Malja, Kuopio
Pours pitch black with a smooth foamy light brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, with notes of wood, tobacco and vanilla. Taste is roasty with some notes of wooden ash, tobacco and coffee. Finish is smooth and slightly roasty with some hints of dry wooden notes. Okay, quite well balanced and tasty.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
This is a great beer. Dark and roasty with a perfect mouthfeel. I would almost call it a stout. A lot of dark malt backbone and seriously roasted char. A wonderful beer that I would be glad to have again.
