Tap at Brasserie V in a flight with #100 and the IPA - Pours dark and murky, with a nice foamy tan head that’s gone quickly. Smells of medium roast malt with nice, light smoke and a bit of lactose. Taste is smooth and roasty--nice bitter roast flavors mix with dark chocolate and smoke on the finish. It’s medium-bodied, though a bit watery, and very smooth. My favorite of the three Nogne beers I tried, though the IPA was close.

4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
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.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Good looking beer with a fine beautifull brown head. Very roasted aroma
Light body and, little to alcoholic for my taste.
I miss more body.
I dont understand this beer is among the best here at ratebeer, however Nøgne Ø is a good and very interesting brewery.

bottle. deep brown pour with a big fizzy tan head that never goes away completely. sweet coffee, bread and milk smells. little thinner than I was expecting (for some unknown reason) - but still had a chewy quality to it. tastes of dark fruits, toasted malts, dark chocolate and soy. interesting. not sure I’ve had a porter like this before. probably more complex than any I’ve had before - but maybe wouldn’t be dying to try again.
