COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Fur Porter er en overgæret øl af typen Imperial Stout. Mørk, mahognifarvet med tæt nøddebrunt skum, der har en lang holdbarhed og giver fine blonder på glasset. Dejlig duft af røgmalt og engelsk lakrids. Fyldig maltet smag med en ekstra tone af røgmalt og engelsk lakrids, der afrundes i en for øltypen frisk afslutning. Engelsk inpireret porter brygget på fem forskellige malttyper - bl.a. røgmalt, karamelmalt og chokolademalt - samt to humletyper, hvoraf den ene er med til at give øllen et friskt pift. Humlen tilsættes af to omgange.

English: Fur Porter is a top fermented beer of the Imperial Stout style. Dark mahogany color with a nut brown head which has a long durability and leaves nice lacings on the glass. Nice aroma of smoked malt and English licorice. Full malty flavor with an extra note of smoked malt and English licorice which ends in a fresh finish, even for this style. English inspired porter brewed with five different types of malt - smoked, caramel and chocolate malts amongst others - and two types of hops where one of them gives the beer its fresh note. The hops are added in two stages.

OleR (3510) - Oslo, NORWAY - JUL 24, 2007
500 ml bottle. One finger, quickly diminishing tan head over a muddy dark brown body. Sweet licorice and dark chocolate to the nose. Taste is well rounded with medium sweet malts, caramel and milk-chocolate. Gently hopped. Rather light-bodied with a smooth and mellow mouthfeel. Mild bitterness and malt-sweetness in the finish. Accommodating.

kramer (3376) - Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 7, 2007
500 ml bottle, via a kind DK trader. Pours a clear mahogany brown body under a one finger foamy light brown head with excellent retention. The aroma is a cross between chocolate and nutty toasted malts with a light lactic note, some coffee and smoke as well. The flavor is quite unexpected. It starts out chocolaty and roasty but fades into a quite smokey and anice laced slightly bitter finish. This could almost pass for a Smoked beer, yet there’s no mention of smoked malt in the description. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a nice soft texture and gentle pleasant carbonation. Overall, this was quite a nice surprise. I was expecting an average Porter and got a pretty great Porter. Methinks this one is under-rated.

Black body with fizzy head that disapears. Aroma is of roasted malt and sweet, like dark syrup bread. Aroma got a very alcoholic after a while. Flavor is sweet and also like dark syrup bread. Its roasted. A burned aftertaste. Got little alcohlic after a while. And little notes of soap. Palate is thin and watery.

MiP (11255) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAY 2, 2007
Bottle at Frederikshavn øl- og vinfestival 07. Buttery aroma. Black colour, oily looking. Very small head. The flavour is also buttery, but OK. A lot of English liquorice and a little fish. The finish is a little sweeter, like sweet liquorice ending with a good, late, roasted aftertaste. Thick, oily mouthfeel.

Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - APR 1, 2007
I didn’t like the first versions of this brew, but May 2006 I had the chance to taste it again. It’s black/brown with a big-bubbly head. The first versions had an unpleasant chemical note to it, but now it’s balanced and quite nice. I get notes of chocolate, licorice and coffee, and the chocolate notes are much better now than in the first version. The finish has a light and nice bitterness. It’s clearly a better beer now, and in the better part of the average ones.
