Brown porter. Not expecting much from this one and it meets my expectations. Some sweetness on the aroma but it’s overwhelmed by a plain beer smell. C’mon, you know what I mean. Taste is underwhelming for a porter in that it lacks those roasty notes I so look forward to, though the honey flavor does come through. And that’s a pretty good part about this beer. I could probably drink more, but why would I want to?

Oct 12, 2008 Dark red, near black colored with huge light brown head. Sweet aroma with roastiness and rich licorice. Medium bodied, crispy palate. Flavor is more berryish with slight licorice and sweet caramel, somehow short ending with slight licorice. Well, good aroma, flavor is somehow empty and carbonated.

May 26, 2008 Bottle; pours a dark, cola brown. Large head. Aroma of toffee, honey, roasted malt with some vegetable and milk notes. Palate ws weak; too much carbonation created an undesirable harshness. The flavor was just ok; roasted malt and toffee. Below average for the style.

May 10, 2008 Jägermeister in cola. Sweet, carbonated, faintly syrupy malts. Overly carbonated which dominates the flavour.

May 8, 2008 12 oz bottle enjoyed at haukur’s tasting on 1 May 2008. Not sure how supplied this one. Pour is brown-black with a huge, fizzy out of control off white head. Aroma of dirty milk with some honey sweetness. Taste is porter-coffee, some milk, slight sweetness near the end. Just OK, overly carbonated for the style.

May 2, 2008 "amble body and smooth mouthfeel" .. what? this is so far from being that! Cola-ish looks, explosive head. Palate is.. well.. VERY carbonated! There is some sweetness but overall it´s just carbonation with some hints of medicine. Not entirely bad, interesting to sample but nothing I would ever buy
