3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Opaque black with a generous tan head. A strong aroma of coffee, roasted malt and chocolate. Medium bodied, slightly oil-like feel - and look, hehe - to it. Roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee and liquorice appear in the taste. A pleasant porter - tried it with cheese as they advised, s’good!

Extremely well crafted brew. Not a very strong aroma but taste hints of chocolate, berries, roasted nuts with a slight carbonation. Not of the flavors are right up front and very balanced. No Alcohol in sight here. Very good. Looking forward to the Nogne Imperial Stout.

UPDATED: JUN 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours a pitch black color, with very prominent marshmallow-like tan head. Leaves tons of gorgeous lacing. An awesome beer just to stare at and appreciate. Aroma has some soft malts, licorice, caramel, and a nice underlying roasty quality. Rich sugars and fruits in the flavor; some caramel, roasted coffee, dry molasses. Pretty good. Smooth and velvet-like body. Incredibly easy to drink.

Bottle. Coffee colored pour with a tan head. Malty aroma - roasty, smoky, nuts, light wood. Really well balanced flavor - hops and good roasted malt character. Great palate. Overall, one of the better porters that I’ve had.

bottle - pours jet black with some thickness and chocolaty head; aromas of grain, dates and some coffee; decent body that’s well above the all to common watery porter; drinks with flavors of coffee and molasses; very nice
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Marcus - Thanks! Interesting aromas of toasted malt, chocolate, reddish fruits, and perhaps a bit of coffee. Opaque brown/black color with a beige/tan head that’s respectable. Medium body with smooth frothy carbonation. Flavors are sharp burnt malt, coffee, chocolate, hop bitter and more. The finish is dry, and a bit muddy as the flavors intermingle. Decent amount of burnt toast and bitter. Really good to drink.
