3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Big roasty nose, coffee, soy, and some licorice. Quite hoppy, pine notes, and a very dry bitter espresso finish. A little too hoppy for a porter in my opinion, but its pretty good.

Left me start this by saying, I drank this immediately after drinking the Olfabrikken Porter, so needless to say, it came in second. Pours a watery opaque black with a slightly off white head that faded quickly. Smells of roasted malt, sugar and dark fruits. Flavor is malty, but not too roasted, toffee, oranges and more dark fruit. Finish is smooth but a little watery. Very drinkable and pleasant.

A black colored beer, with a thick foamy dark beige head. The aroma of sweet chocolate, with some coffee and roasted malts. The taste of a little bitter chocolate with roasted malts and some dark fruits. The aftertaate is dry bitter with a little sweet.

Bottle. Yummy. Black and delish. Sweet, a bit of smoke and nice and roasty. Also a bit of chocolate.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours black with a reddish tinge on the edge and a mocha head. Raisin chocolate aroma and it’s relatively fruity overall. Fluffy and light body with chocolate, oats, and bread flavour contributions. The finish is slightly metallic. Not bad.
Sampled at the Københavnske Øldage 2006 on May 20, 2006.

Good sized frothy milky brown head of very fine and dense bubbles. Minimal carbonation. Sweet malty aroma with plenty of chocolate, roasted grains, chocolate covered cherries and a hint of smoke. Color is essentially black. Rich roasty flavor. Full bodied and full of flavor. Dark bittersweet chocolate, coffee, some licorice and milk late swallow. Very easy drinking. Finishes creamy smooth and roasty. Slight lingering bitterness. A great porter!
