Smaskifa (17), Oslo, Norway Aug 17, 2008 On tap. Black with a nice finger thick head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate and some fruity pine apple, tropical fruits. Taste of strong coffe, bitter hops, hints of fruits and pine apple. Has a sort of crispy and dry feel in the mouth. A pretty nice beer. Served way too cold. Finn (1092), Tromsø, Norway Jan 23, 2008 On tap 29 Jun 07. Dark brown colored. A tiny creamy head. Modest fruity aroma. Lacing. Sweet fruity caramellish flavor. Sweet bitter finish. A bit weak to be a proper porter. tarjei (1300), Bryne, Norway Sep 16, 2007 0,58 l at the brewpub. Dark reddish color. Creamy beige head. Roasted malt, fruit, coffee. Enjoyable, but not great. Served too cold. Rastacouere (5409), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Jun 1, 2007 Clearish cola-coloured body wearing a solid beige head. Latte aroma feels a bit like cheap torrefied grains as the beer is very cold, but warming up, it eventually catches a certain toasty, rooty and fruity charm that keep on in mouth and certainly never gets glorious, but you have a malt-oriented brew, with almost no acidity and a pleasant dark fruits, earthy, rooty flavor profile that might win from being a bit more sparse in carbonation. tykjen (183), Florø, Norway May 16, 2007 A good brown porter that you easily can see through when held against the light. Aroma with good fruity character that blends well with dark malts. Low level of roasted notes. Well attenuated and body a bit on the thin side, but acceptable for a 4,7% brew.
