Dec 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours a nice black color with a medium tan head. Roasted malt in the aroma, as well as some chocolate in a hint of coffee. Nice balance in the aroma. Sweet taste. Some molasses and brown sugar. Light malt and some roasted coffee. One thing I will say is Nøgne is one of my favorite brewing companies. You know you get quality with them. And this is a solid porter.

Dec 20, 2008 Bottle from KAggie97 at the December Houston tasting. I am gay for KAggie! Pours a deep black with amber highlights and a nice beige head. Smells like Pepto Bismol and melon. Weird. Flavor is blunt chocolate with cough syrup and a faint coffee finish. Highly carbonated and fluffy mouthfeel. Interesting. Good for diahrrhea.

Dec 18, 2008 Pours with a dark brown to black body topped by a thin to medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. It is slightly sweet yet slightly bitter with a light chocolate note and a touch of roast. Full bodied, smooth and a touch warming.

Dec 15, 2008 Bottle thanks to kaggie at the RB Houston Impy Stout tasting. Pours black, with a small brown head. Opaque. Nose is chalky, coffee ish but not overwhelming. Very carbonated and fluffy, it sort of disappears in my mouth turning a liquid into a gas. Very strange. Taste is a bit coffeeish with very little alcohol presence. Got better as it warmed but overall did not do much for me.

Dec 10, 2008 Best beer of the night at the Publick House near Boston. Deep ruby-red medium-bodied porter with flavors of toffee and coffee, and a slightly smoky finish. It tasted like a true British porter, whereas most American porters taste like stouts.

Dec 9, 2008 Updated: Jan 6, 2009Leave it to the Norsk to create such a good brew. The best porter i have had since Samuel Smiths Taddy Porter. Awesome smoked malt and roasty chocolate coffee taste. Totally a bad ass beer.

Dec 8, 2008 Sample at the Hopsnobbery Collective Porter tasting on 12/4/08: This brew is a solid brownish-black color with a medium thin and rocky light brown head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of smoked malt and dark chocolate plus a touch of coffee. Medium, round body with flavors of roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate and raisins. Light smoky character throughout. The finish is soft and roasty with a mocha aftertaste. Pretty good all around.
