The taste is soft-malted, bitter of roasting, lively with chocolate, toffy and molasses. The beer is supple, but robust coffee, hints of mulberry, vanilla and leather. The hop is fruity, the finale more dry, but rich, greedy and expresso. A most.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Norse Porter. Super carbed gusher. Seems like others have had this problem as well so I won’t chalk it up to infection. Dark brown with lots of fizzy light tan head. Looks infected. Smells infected. Fruit skins and a mild tartness in the nose, old cardboard. Acidic paper flavor, meh. Mildly smoky.

3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle at Laundromat, labeled as Norse Porter. Dark brown almost black, big light brown head. Like several bottles from Haandbryggeriet the one we had suffered from too much carbonation in the bottle. Other than this it’s a very nice beer. Aroma is coffee, some licorice and malts. Taste is likewise, with some sweet stuff setting in before a good dry bitter end.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bought as Norse Porter: Black with big beautiful rich light-brown foam. Cool detained nose with cold coffee as the predominant impression. Taste: Coffee, but clearer and warmer than in the nose, roasted tones, little vinegar, medium bitterness. Mouth Feeling: Excessive carbonation. The effect is fresh, perhaps too fresh compared to the gravity of the beer.
