Nov 15, 2009 Bottle from Olbutikken. Black and opague. Porto, malt and raisin in the aroma. Hints of roast. Full bodied, thick mouthfeel. Porto flavor, alcoholic with raisin, grapes, aok, roast, ash, hint of licorice. Vinous notes. Silky smooth but also an alcoholic and vinous aftertaste. The porto barrel ageing really showes.

Nov 11, 2009 Thanks to NoLiberty for cracking this open via Shaun E. Hill...
Appears a dark midnight with a small brown cap that seems to float forever. Spotty bits of lacing are left around the glass.
Smell is of wood, cocoa, coffee, mineral water, dark bakers chocolate, mild roast, very mild hint of port. There’s also notes of yeasty bread ala freshly baked Portugese rolls.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with an obvious nod to the wood and roasty grains.
Mouthfeel is medium-full bodied, slightly bitter, chewy, with a delicate finish.

Nov 5, 2009 Nice slick black looking with a small but dense brown head that actually leaves some lazings on my snifter. Aroma is heavy asphalt malty with lovely berry notes, light hops and heavy woody nots. Mouthfeel is creamy and thick with light carbonation, goes down like a dream. Flavour is intense of cold hard roasted coffe, dark bitter chocolate, berry sweetness with a touch of woody vanilla and additional fruit. Ends somewhat dry, bitter and very warming. Lovely balanced without losing character, this is huge.

Nov 5, 2009 Entered to celebrate my rating number 14,700. A black beer with a thin dark brown head. The aroma has strong notes of roasted malt with a burnt edge combined with notes of alcohol, fruits, and soy sauce. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt, combined with notes of wood, berries, malt, wine, and alcohol, leading to a dry roasted finish. The alcohol leaves a slight burn in the mouth.
