Commercial Description:
Editor's note: Recent canned batch of this has been brewed at Bryggeriet S.C. Fuglsang.
The first batch of this beer destined for export to the US market was brewed at Nøgne Ø in Grimstad, Norway in 2006. Later batches have been brewed at Ølfabrikken.
Introduced at 'Fynske Øldage' 2005.

A dark and rich porter inspired by the Baltic porters traditionally made in Scandinavia. Roasted without being burned or bitter, with the flavor dominated by dried fruits and vinous notes. High amounts of residual sugars and a fruity aroma makes this beer the perfect companion for chocolate desserts, if served lightly chilled. Brewed on Maris Otter ale malt, British Brown Malt, chocolate malt, roasted barley, two types of caramel malt and brown sugar. Unpasteurized and unfiltered like all our beers of course.

Pours thick with a pillowy head; funky cellar, creosote and smoked cherry aroma, a little woody; burnt and roasty, initially; alcoholic, dusty, bitter-sweet cocoa finish. Very nice, but it reminds me of an impy stout rather than a porter.

This stuff is good. Pours black with a really nice tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, lots of sugar, and chocolate. Flavor is smoky and almost a little grainy. Lots of sweet caramel and chocolate too though. Finishes quite dry with slightly acidic malt hint. Quite tasty brew, but definitely a sipper.

(Bottle). Sweet caramel chocolate aroma. Black body, small brown head. Flavor is malty, sweet fruit, coffee, caramel and chocolate, also with a lot of roastedness. Finish is roasty and somewhat bitter. Complex and powerful.

(10/11/08) Bottle drank in my hostel room in Chicago. Opaque black with medium bubbly light-brown head that falls rather quick. Aroma of heavily roasted malt, a bit chocolate, light smokiness, some ground coffee notes and a bit of alcohol. Sweet roasty flavor with light herbal notes, some fruitiness, a bit of nutty notes, some coffee, acidic malt hints and some alcohol. Finishes dry. Good but not as good as I was hoping.

I am not a huge fan of porters, but damn, this is one fine beer and worth a try. Pours a very dark brown with a tan head. Aroma and flavor of roasted malt, chocolate, dark fruit, and some coffee. Very smooth, I am going to have to buy another bottle to have around.

amazing beer, hard to believe that it fits into the porter category. 8% abv. Pours black with brownish head. Aroma of extreme nice roastiness and chocolate. Taste is roasted coffee, with grainy oats and chocolate. Loaded with some nice malts. A little on the strong side for a porter, but highly enjoyable quaff.
