Bottle. Sweet, light perfume, strange smell in the beginning. A large creamy brown head, which is long lasting. A very dark brown body. Quite bitter taste, long duration. The beer is creamy with a medium body and a soft carbonation. A interesting Porter.

Almost black with fine beige head. Roasted aroma with some smoke. light bodied. Pleasent porter but far from outstanding.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Almost no head on a black body. Nice liquorice aroma, standard porter taste, pretty well made but unremarkable. A newcomer that deserve improvement.

Black with no head although I tried to make it. Licorice aroma with some overwhelming clove and cinnamon. Clove also makes it difficult to make out the flavour, which is dry, a little sour and with a dry licorice aftertaste. As with all micros, it deserves one more chance, but I’m not happy. And I love Danish porters...

(on bottle) In these days of many micros in Denmark, it´s hard to find some serious brewers, trying to makes serious bottled beer; here´s one at last. A straight forward porter, but the best I´ve had from the micros around here. Sligthly acidi- chocolate nose. Very smooth drinkability, perfect carbonation, rounded off with a burnt and creamy finish. Nice dusty finish too.

I had this a couple of years ago, and I found it quite uninspired. I have to say that I still feel that way. Very sweet and smooth with a solid taste of liquerice - I prefere something more bitter and burned. Not bad as such though.
