bottle. black pour with a mottled brown and tan head. big roasted malt nose with coffee and choclate. Flavor is bitter, coffee and cacao again. Fullbodied and really well done. Great porter.

Pours a completely black colour with a light brown head. Chocolate hints, dry fruits, plums and some caramel notes in the aroma. Light sweetness and medium bitterness in the taste. Round malty flavour, dark chocolate notes and some coffee too. Full body, creamy feel, soft carbonation and a long medium bitter and chocolatie-like finish. Another quality product from Nøgne Ø. Nice.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours completely black with a small tan head and a coffee-like roasted aroma. The taste is more like mocca than espresso, very roasted and not really smooth, but in a good way. A bit sweet, with a long bitter finish. Good, but not groundbreaking

Pours dark black color with a thick foamy beige head that disappears after a few seconds. The aroma is a sweet brown sugar and raisin with some whiskey notes to it. Has a deep malty coffee flavor with an almost bourbon aged flavor to it. I’m not sure if it is. The body is pretty creamy. As it warms, the coffee flavors come out more. It leaves a nice chocolaty bitter in the finish. An excellent porter.

Delicious. Tried this one after a disappointing left hand milk stout. Full, rich, slightly acidic. Chocolate, smoke, and a bit of bitter fruit is present throughout. Slightly harsh, and a surprising amount of hop for a porter. Overall, a wonderful brew. If it ever costs less than $11 a bottle, I’ll buy more.

pours jet black with a pretty tan head- looks like an impy. Aroma is very roasty and smoky, but lots of dark fruit, caramel, and a bit of chocolate and coffee. Flavor is huuuge with coffee and chocolate, and a beautiful silky smoothness that i love and that you can’t quite find in most stouts. Palate is luscious- damn good porter.

(Bottled 10/2006) Black with light, tanned head. Nose is strong dark chocolate and soft burned malts. Flavor has liquorice and dark fruits. Finishes with coffee, chocolate and smoothly herbal bitterness. Medium bodied, round and a bit oily palate. Rich and satisfying, without being that heavy.
