4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
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.

batch 225 bottle outta nowhere from dakine on 3/8/10.

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.
full bodied. crazy creamy insane mouth feel. love it! 9/5/10/5/19/4.8

Batch 225. 10% ABV. This beer made me drive 600 km to clear out 8 different stores for this brilliant stuff. The later batches fell to 9% ABV and the remake down to 6% ABV. Chickens....
Pours black with a large creamy beige head. Extreme strong and complex aroma of coffee,chocolate, brown sugar, prunes, wood, spice and some sweetness. Flavor is very complex of the same, full bodied, very creamy mouthfeel. This is one of those beers that you could just enjoy the aroma of for an hour before tasting it. Just two left in my cellar :-(

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.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
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.

(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!!!
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
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.
