Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin dark brown head. The aroma has strong notes of wood, and lacto bassilicus. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, wood, lacto, brett, and soy sauce, leading to a dry roasted and lacto finish. If you like sour, you like this. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours an opaque black with a tiny, rough off-white head. Interesting lactic nose, some rotten plums also. Medium body, hard roasted malts, loads and loads of lacto - close to acetone. Hardly any bitterness in the finish but rather sour. This probably is off, but in a lovely fashion. 080210

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: AUG 17, 2009 Bottled at PBF. Near black, almost no head. Interesting tast vinous nose. Oaky nose Rodenbach style. Tart and lighter in body than expected. The roastiness from the porter only manifests itself as a slight hint of tar in the finish. Instead this beer is all about oaky tartness with vinegar and wood.
Finally Haandbryggeriet makes a beer that is not only interesting on the paper, this is by far the best ever from them!

Bottle, 6%. Citric aroma, perhaps a little Brett, no probably lacto. OK roasted. Black colour. Good brown head. The flavour is nicely sour, good woody notes, perhaps some lacto. Slightly sweet. Tastes more like a sour than porter.

Black color; small head. Mixed aroma, notes of chocolate, cream and acetone. Good body, and good malt and chocolate flavor, with roasted malts too; there is some alcohol that adds dynamicity, but also some acetone. Without the acetone it wuld be perfect; it’s nevertheless very interesting.

Near black with a tiny deep beige head. Sour aroma with lacto, hard roasted malt and sour berries. Flavour was quite sour with sour berries, hard roasted malt, woody and lactic notes. Finished sour. Nice even though it most likely wasn’t intended.
