3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
500 ml bottle, this is great.
Very rich and sweet, big thick body, bitter flavor but not in the aftertaste.

oured from the tap into a pint glass
The color is a dark black with some maroon highlights and about two fingers of foamy brownish head and some nice lacing left on the glass.
The smell is roasty with a little dry malt aroma. There is some dark chocolate aroma in the nose that has a coffee roast like aroma too.
The taste is roasted malt and is filled with a nice dry chocolate flavor that sets back a bit to hang with a coffee flavor that mixes with some nice toast burnt flavor.
The feel of this beer is complex but smooth as it goes down with ease and has a silky aftertaste that is more enjoyable then a lot of Porters I have had. This one is one of the better ones.

Bottle. Pours a beautiful black with off whit head. Not a punchy nose but wonderful roasted flavour and a thickness which is a joy to the palate. Delicious.

500ml bottle, beersofeurope.com Medium smoky aroma, the flavour and palate is beautifully smooth and very full-flavoured. Chocolate, dried fruit, tobacco, coffee and roast all easily discernible, slips down way too easily. There is some alcohol heat, but it’s very much in balance. Dry finish, some medicinal blackcurrant aroma late on. A great porter.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Opaque black coffe color with small head and no lacing. Taste is of bitter roasted caramel malt and semi-sweet chocolate. Goes well with dark chocolate or with havarti cheese and carrs wafers. Best as a late evening sipping beer, one that tastes big, yet doesn’t overfill.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: JAN 19, 2012 Bottle from vinmonopolet. BLACK body with a beige head. Moderate sweet and a some roasted malt aroma. Massive and also a moderate flavour. Lots of raosted malt. Chocolate, caramel and espresso flavour.
I had this on a beer tasting with 20 different Nøgne Ø bottles. Even the girls rated this one as the best.
A great allrounder for everyone. Heavy but not overkill.
