DrFunk (80), Sorumsand, Norway Aug 31, 2008 Bottle from monopoly outlet, Oslo.
pours like Coca cola. Nice yeasty aroma with caramel and some coffee. Kinda sweet, a bit thin with metallic aftertaste. More coffee coming through.
A descent brew. afireinside96 (807), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 31, 2008 I ordered a bottle of this last night at a restaurant and for some reason it was served with a pilsner glass. Dark brown body that has a glimmer of red, creamy tan head. Smells sweetly of dark fruit roasted grains. Taste was very full and well rounded, slight bitterness, some raisin, plum, chocolate, and caramel. Yummy. Mouthfeel was full and smooth. Very good. jvmiller (532), Bel Air, Maryland, USA Aug 30, 2008 Sweet aroma, lightly roasty. Flavor is pretty solid, sweet sugary, not terribly bitter or roasted though, more on the sweet side. Reminds me a bit of Lion Stout. Body is carbonated and thin. A nice, easy to drink porter. realbama (35), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Aug 26, 2008 This is a solid porter. No frills, nothing quite memorable either, however. Looks good, smelt good, tasted good, but also missed out on providing me with a good aftertaste. Actually, there were no lingering effects of the beer. arventresca (334), Greenville, North Carolina, USA Aug 25, 2008 Pours Black with creamy head. Smell of roasted barley. Strong porter taste. Coffee complex. Fairly good offering. luv2brew (177), Chesterfield, Virginia, USA Aug 23, 2008 Nose comes off as a classic british ale. Its is deep dark with a off white head. There is a noticable smokiness to this one and a certain chewiness that is hard to describe. the smokiness hangs around till the end to make this one a classic EHopper (274), Minnesota, USA Aug 22, 2008 Actually, a strangely tasteless beer. Aroma and taste understated. Very easy to drink for a porter, just not a lot to think about. Light coffee, chocolate, a little sweet, a little bitter, small fiz, flavor just fades away. Don’t really need to have again. drjay44 (757), Salida, Colorado, USA Aug 19, 2008 550 ml. bottle, pours a mocha colored head, no lacing, nice blackish brown color, nose with bits of coffee, chocolate, cocoa, similar flavors, not much hop, well balanced. A slab of beef would go nicely.
