22 oz bottle thanks to janka. I didn’t find much wrong with this porter. Lots of creamy tan head on this dark dark pour. Chocolate and coffee aromas. Flavors were similar with some burnt malt flavor and a decent hoppy finish. Very tasty.

375ml bottle LooseCannon was kind enough to split with me. Black as they come with a brown head.Toasty, chocolate cocoa like nose, a splash of coffee. Body is thick, seems a bit flat. Rich chocolate flavors, sweet, a hint of vanilla and a light floral bite. Very good!

UPDATED: DEC 30, 2009 Bottle 500 ml, batch # ??? (no dates or batchnumber on this bottle). Deep brown, almost black, with redtones in strong light. Coffe, roasted/burnt malt, liqourice, lovely fruity sweetness and vanilla - all balanced with nice hops. Dry, bitter finish. Another winner from Nøgne Ø!

0,5 l bottle from CrackedKettle, courtesy of Balazs, thx a lot;-)
Poured black like rock-oil, small foamy tan head that melts to a small lacing one. Firstly a fruity aroma opens with raisins and caramel. Mild spicy notes with clove, vanilla. After a while the espresso, coffee and peat rules the aroma. Medium, airy body, mild oily density. Roasted grains and burnt wood, dark chocolate and coffee, cocoa. Peat and burnt aftertaste with some toasted nuts. Fine!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hah! I thought I rated this one but I guess not. Black pour, moderate tan head, some lacing and retention. Aroma is typical porter - chocolate, coffee, roast, caramel, moderate to low hops. Medium to light body, fairly dry. Not bad.
