3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
500 mL. Pours almost pitch black with a very thin, tan head. Leaves fairly good lacing. Aroma of raisins, dark chocolate, raw cocoa, molasses, spiced rum. Taste is creamy with rum raisin, dark chocolate, coffee with a harsh bite of warming alcohol and roasted nuts. 7% is not totally hidden. Ends a little dry and watery but this is a porter not a stout. Very powerful and enjoyable.

Bottle at Trond’s house. Another quality product. Dark almost black liquid. Heavy and syrupy but oh so smooth. Creamy with chocolate, dark fruits, wheat and malt flavours. Really enjoyable porter. Quality blend of flavours.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a deep black color with brown highlights and a thick, frothy, beige head. Very good aroma and flavor of coacoa, toasted bread and roasted malt with a bitter finish. The body is light with a slightly liquorous texture and gentle carbonation. Porter might not be one of the most exciting styles for me, but when it’s well done like this one it’s always a pleasure to drink.

Nøgne Ø has made the best porter I have tried in a long time. Black in color. Aroma is full of roasted malt. Flavor is full with light chocolate and coffee and more malt. Many breweries would call this their stout.

Black/brown pour with tan head and lace. Aroma is chocolate, Flavor is chocolate, roasted malt, and a stiff coffee like bitter. Nice carbonation but a bit thin, foamy, and watery. A finishing taste of almost oats, just not sure.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
500 ml bottle, via Mr Walker and sk8viking. Completely black pour with a small and creamy brown head. Very good retention, moderate sediment in bottle. Very chocolaty aroma, a little yeast, roast, and some coffee. Flavor is similar to aroma, chocolate malt and a hoppy bitterness up front. Finish is chalky with a drying yeast character and a little burnt toast. Mouthfeel is full bodied and slightly oily in texture with soft carbonation. Very nice overall, full of flavor with a pleasant mouthfeel.
