Bottled 50cl. It pours a very dark beer with a smallish bubbly deep beige head. Indefinitely wonderful complex aroma and taste which is out of this world. Minty. A heavenly consecration. I reveled in every sip. Perhaps lemon peel, dark chocolate and horse blanket would be quite suitable for discribing some of the components of this beer. Incredible.

amazing aroma of fudgey chocolate, ashy tartness, brown sugar, prunes, wood, spice, roasty sweetness and coffee.
the flavor is the same only way more amazing!... a bit rich and brown sugary with sharp cheddar cheesy notes on the finish.

Bottle shared by daknole like a beer pimp -- thanks!! Pours roasted black with a trim ring of brown foam. Smells of lactose, peppermint, and cocoa -- very inviting. Tastes of espresso, milk cocoa, sweet malts, oak, and booze. This beer fucking ROCKS. I have no idea what’s going on with the ratings -- perhaps some bottles are infected??

Lucky to enjoy the supposedly last bottle at Olympen,Oslo. Black with a small beige froth. Incredibly sour berries, marcipane, oaky vanilla aromas. Light roast, chocolate, sour berries, vanilla oak, hints of aquavit flavours even. A masterpiece from Haandbryggeriet, probably their best and definitely world-class.

(Bottled) Very dark brown with a small beige head. Very oaky and vinegary-sour aroma with licorice. Flavor of vinegary maltiness, not much roast until the finish, hints of licorice and oak. Pretty viscous body, although not quite full, with low carbonation. Forget about porter in the name - a very nice sour ale!

batch 147. 50cl bottle @ biergasthof schiffner. strangely there is no percentage to be found on the bottle anywhere, but it taste about 6-7% strong, so i’l happily go with that :-). pitch black, slight carbonation, thin beige head and no lace. Smell somewhat like a lambic, sour morello cherries, fermented grapes, slight fruit vinegar note, with wood and ever so slight smoke. Best thing is, it tastes even better, the aquavit really comes out and the sourness combines with the roast malts to a beautiful unusual eccentric taste experience! highly reccommend it!!!

Bottle. Pours a black body with a rocky coffee tan head. Minerals, malty chocoalte, light oak vanilla and light ground coffee notes. Roast y dark malty body with a lively dark chocolate and wisp of smoke. Creamy roast y with some light licorice, a bit astringent and yet sweet. Rustic with a light warming licorice. Hardly any barrel, very light roast y with some dark chocoalte and a mild rustic licorice. Dark bruit tones chocolate, raisins, and chocolate cherries. Very nice.

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.

Bottle at Bar & Cigar, Oslo. It pours a next to black body, with only a gentle reddish tint, and a minimal, tan head. Lovely vinegary start on the aroma, on a solid malty base. Coffee notes, some hints of wood, and alcohol. Quite vinous, some berries also chime in. Balsamic vinegar, roasted malts, some alcohol, a hint of wood and vanilla, and dried fruits in the flavor. Very low on aquavit. Medium to full body, astringently sour, and a lasting finish with the flavors found initially. A wonderful sipper, maybe a bit on the sour side, but lovely. More evident aquavit and porter would be nice I think, but that’s just me. (090313)
