Bottle. Dark as the darkest night with a brown and medium thick head. The taste is very full and well balanced, a little roasted. I agree with the commercial description that it should be enjoyed by itself, it’s close to liquid bread but a very good one. I enjoyed it!

Opaque black with nice brown head. Toasted chocolate, rubber aromas persist as well as delicious roasted coffee scents. A lighter hoppier porter than expected, with touches of drying hops and floral, piney flavors. A very well balanced brew with several complex layers. Worth a try.

Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours a very inviting black. Nose very sweet caramel and chocolate flavors. They follow to the tongue with some hints of coffee. Very excellent porter!

22 oz Bottle -- Pours black with a small light tan head. Aromas of coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, raisin, and some smoke. Silky smooth yet rich palate, mild bitterness.

My first Scandinavian rating! Simple and attractive label. Very nice pour - a big tan head comes billowing up from the black liquid. A rich, sweet aroma with a bit of yeast and cheese. Flavor is dry and fresh: some coffee, smoke, and tart and bitter hops. There is something a little unusual too, like spruce or juniper or coriander. Maybe it is just the Norwegian water (which I bet is excellent). A very good dry porter.

Pours deep brown with a thin tan head. Nose and flavor of smooth chocolate, roasted malt and coffee. Creamy on the palate.

Pours black with small light brown head. Red tinge when held up to light. Wonderful aroma of burnt caramel some smoke and chocolate. taste not quite as nice as the aroma but good nonetheless. no bitterness. Nice aftertaste with a dry texture and medium body. Very tasty indeed.

Pours totally cloudy black with lacing, nice looks. Sublime nose of well-constructed sweet malts and baked dried fruits. Some alcohol detectable and adds warmth. Super mouthfeel. Tastes a lot like an imperial stout and is quite roasty.
