Bottled. A hazy dark brown beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma is sweet with a light touch of acidity and notes of herbs and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet and acidic and strong notes of herbs combined with light notes of alcohol and metal, leading to a dry roasted finish. The alcohol bites lightly in the tongue. Thanks to Papsoe.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of CaptainCougar. Hazy, dark brown with a tint of orange and a beige head. Aroma of roasted malt and vitamins - and then a distinct tartness. Medium body with sweet, roasted malt and then the sourness reappears. Clearly infected - sad. 030707

Bottle at Papsø. Clear red brown coloured with a medium sized beige ehad. Light roasted aroma of caramel and dark chocolate. Fruity and light roasted flavour of caramel and dark chocolate with notes of hops. Roasted finish.

Bottle. Pours a black color with a small off-white head. Has a roasted malty chocolate aroma with hints of caramel. Raosted malty chocolate and coffee flavor. Has a roasted malty chocolate finish.

Dark brown color; the head disappears quite quickly. The aroma shows also some rotten apple. Caramel/malt taste, still with the fruitness from an overripe apple. Funky (read Papsø below).

(12oz bottle) Pours a deep amber body with a medium cream head. Aroma of chocolate, cookie dough, and chocolate. Flavor of caramel, chocolate, bread, and roasted malt.

(12oz bottle) Pours a dark brown body with a medium creamy beige head. Aroma of dark chocolate, caramel, toffee, roasted malt, coffee, and light nuttiness. Flavor of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, and hops (grassy) with a bitter finish.

Bottle at Papsø’s - Thanks. Clear dark brown - offwhite head. Chocolate, fruity, licorice, light off notes, nutty, berries, ok bitter, burnes bitterness.

Dark brown. Thin head. Big coffeeish aroma with light chocolate notes. Rick, thick porter with light smoky character, and lots of coffee notes. A big misleading to call it "porter" when clearly they are aiming for something a little bigger than that name unadorned implies, but it is a pretty good beer.
Earlier Rating: 3/24/2006 Total Score: 3.4
Dark brown colour. Oaty, malty, nutty aroma with silky milk chocolate accents. Malty with nice silky chocolatey notes, but some astringent woody ones as well. Dry, woody, hoppy finish.
