Bottle. Pours black with creamy and long-lasting brown head. Nice lace formation. Aromas are deep, rye bread-like roasted malts and sour cocoa beans Also a hint of dried fruits. Flavor starts sour and finishes chalky dry with a medium bitteration and wonderful chocolate aroma. Hops are somehow earthy and robust but it fits well with this beer. Alcohol is very well hidden. Slick and thin texture, medium body. One of the best finish beers. Distinctive character of this beer is always as enjoyable.

Bottle. Appearance is cola black with a small brown head. Aroma is chocolate, but flavor is somewhere between soy sauce and ketchup with elements of coffee. That combination is not necessarily unappealing, though. Dry and thin, with a chalky and earthy aftertaste. Doesn’t do it for me right now, but it leaves me intrigued.

11.2oz bottle, bottled 1998. Pours pitch black in color with very thin brown head. Aroma sweet, molasses and malt. Taste coffee, malasses and bitter chocolate with dry finish.

From By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a rich dark, thick, nightmare black with a pillowy gray-brown head. Sweet Baltic nose with a roasted and little metallic bite, but subtle. Complex flavors of chalky chocolate, carob, dry wine, and roasted almond. Excellent finish of smooth, crisp and robust dark decadence.

Thanks to Girlie for this one. Last one of the bunch that she sent to me for my birthday. Agree with the previous post - Scandanavian brewers have nailed this style. Gorgeous deep/dark pour and a fluffy, long-lasting rich tan head. Takes a good 5 minutes for the head to dissipate. Aroma is slightly sweet, with the heavy aroma of roasted malt. Slight hoppiness in the aroma as well. Flavor is consistent with aroma - strong roasted flavors with coffee and slight chocolate. Nice bitterness on the back of the palate to round out the full flavor of this one. Excellent brew.

Bottle at the brickstore. I think the norwegians have the porter style figured out. This one is pretty intense not only in its aroma but also in its flavor. Roasted malt aromas with some coffee and slight cocoas as well. Flavor is much of the same but has a little sweetness and a bitterness to it as well. Very enjoyable, complex, and smooth.

Aroma is roasted and burnt malts, cocoa, and coffee. Strong and creamy flavor with a lot of roasted and burnt malts, chocolate, coffee and hops. Very smooth mouthfeel is relatively thin.

This has got to be the best porter that I have ever tried, and I am not a big fan of that style, but this is delicious. This is a big malty treat, lots of roasted chocolate, caramel, coffee and other delights, perhaps a bit of toffee, but extremely rich and creamy. Delightful!
