2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 Croff (164) - Ostra Sonnarslov, SWEDEN - FEB 16, 2010
Pours nearly black. Very small beige head that goes to faint lace quickly. Faint sweet coffee aroma. Taste of burned coffee, burned chocolate, and a bit fruity. A dry roasted, bitter, unsweetened chocolate with a hint of kerosene aftertaste. Not impressed.

A nose of snuff, soil, tobacco, liquorish and a kind of metallic funk that goes away when the beer warms up. Taste is of all the above mentoined plus chocolate, cherries, wood and coffee. I’ts acidic, a bit dry and not so bitter. I think I can discern a characteristic trait among some of the strong stouts and porters from Scandinavia, such as Hr and Fru Frederiksen, Mikkeller BGB and Nögne Ö IS. They all share a note of tobacco, and a earthy, funky acidicy that ends in a dry finish. Overall, this is drinkable and a very interesting buy!

RBESG. Arich deep smokey peatyness comes through on the nose with lots of double expresso coming through. A sure pick me up! Taste is similar with some tar and liquorice and mimimal bitter cocoa finish. Slippery and long lasting aftertaste this is definetley a good porter as alcohol doesnt dominate

Typical porter. Coffee, chocolate, malts. This one has a nice flavor. A bit light in body. Little smoke. Very drinkable and tasted better with each sip.

Poured 1pt 0.9oz. Dark brown with a slight head. Aroma has strong coffee notes. Malty flavor with a hint of dark chocolate. One of the best porters I have had, the higher alcohol gives it a slighty syrupy texture on the tongue.

Tap at EBF 2008. Pours black with a good creamy lasting head. Aroma of smokey roasted malts. Plenty of espresso/coffee. The coffee is not as conspicuous in the taste as in the aroma., finish is quite dry. Good stuff.

Thanks andersand for this one. Poured from the bottle. Pours a dark black with a little head. Great smell with nice malts some espresso and chocolate. The malts come through strong on the taste but a lot of the over flavors kind of fall off. Has a hint of a macro flavor, but i cant really put my finger on it. Good mouthfeel with good carbonation
