3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: SEP 22, 2011
Draught at Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen. July 2011.
Black with a tint of red, White head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate and dried wood. Medium to full body. Tastes of chocolate and wood with some roasted notes. Considerably light and dry for being a porter, something fussy about it. I wonder if the bottle is the same, luckily for me I’m sitting on one...

0.5l bottle. Finally it’s time to rate this "one of my many favorite beers" from Nøgne Ø. It pours a dark dark brown body with a big creamy and lasting mild khaki head. It’s aroma has lots of beautiful grassy hops, rich dark burned malts, dark licorice, nice sweet chocolate, some strong dark caramel and hints of dark fruits. Really nice aroma indeed. It has a nice oily to chewy mouthfeeling, average to soft carbonation and it’s somewhat full-bodied. Tastes quite hopy for a dark porter. Light sweet with good chocolate flavors combined with dark roasted malts and licorice. The finish is fantastic warming and tingling. Ends in a lasting chocolate and licorice aftertaste. A really nice beer, and absolutely one of my favorite porters!

Inky black body with a thin beige head of tiny bubbles. Aromas of chocolate, coffee and some caramel. Chocolatey flavor along with some coffee and subtle hints of smoke and a bitter finish. A little thin in the mouth but very lively.

13-AUG-2011, bottle @home, from "Fish & Beer".
Black with huge very, very small bubbles, light brown head. Very smooth head, very wipped cream-like. That is a 5.
Roasted with chocolate and coffee - almost cafe latte or sweet espresso.
Somewhat burned but that sweet chocolate taste and texture balances that.
Long bitter finish with a berry note.
The smoothest of porter. Fantastic.

Very nice, well-balanced porter. Pours with a black color, culminating in a medium-sized and resilient dark tan head. The lacing is tight and sticky and clings to the glass long after this tasty treat is gone. The nose is distinctly roasted malts: charcoal, coffee and chocolate. The mouth feel is creamy and the flavor profile is top quality: roasted malts, some chocolate and hints of coffee. Another fine product from Nøgne Ø.

Dark. Coffee and chocolate bitterness and burnt caramel. Outstanding. Smells like... nothing, though.
