Draught @ Gastropub Nordic. Rated on 08.07.2009
Aroma has semi‐dark chocolate, some licorice and coffee. Flavour is well roasted with coffee notes, dark chocolate, some salty licorice and cocoa. Dry finish. Once again an excellent beer from Närke and probably the best baltic porter I’ve had. How do they do it?

From tap at Bishops Arms. Pours dark brown to completely black with a small, thick and tan head. Aroma is roasted dark malty and breadish. Solid hoppy, light citric, fruity and bitter. Dark roasted malt flavour. Light ashtray to smoked touch. Bitter and rather dry finish.

Smell: Chocolait! Coffe, cookies. Taste: Chocolait, coffe, brown sugar, plums, dried fruits, liquorice, viola. Mouthfeel: Nice session porter in my opinion. It’s complex, but not overpowering

On tap. I found this beer very good. The coffee taste is very noticeable as you drink, as well as for the licorice taste. Not my favorite one but very good.

Big and lasting brown foam. Very dark color. Dark malty aroma with a tuch of sweet liqurish and chocolate. Herbal taste and alcohole, as if you added a shot of yellow chatreuse to the beer. The taste is mostly from the dark malts. The taste is big and has a big body. A good winter warmer.

Draft at Oliver Twist. Pours black with tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate. Flavor has same aspects with dark fruits. Smooth and delicious! (Rated 2011/04/19)
