Commercial Description:
Porter is our darkest beer, but not necessarily our strongest. It is widely held that the darker the beer the stronger the beer, but this is summarily false. The contribution of color comes directly from the color of malt that we use. Some malt is roasted to achieve dark color and coffee-like flavor, which in turn get transferred to the beer. Our Porter is richly complex with overtones of chocolate and espresso beans followed by a subtle flavor of hops. It’s a nourishing beer without being too sweet or filling.

Bottle from Ølbutikken. Fine coffee and liquorice aroma. Quite sweet, cappuchino flavour, some charcoal, well balanced with dry hops and a little lemon in the finish. Easy-drinking despite the complexity.

The pour was appealing, with little brownish off white foam head. The nose has hints of coffee and chocolate. The taste how ever was somewhat bland and disappointing. It didnt leave much to the imagination and the after taste was somewhat sour.

Bottle. Pours clear light brown with little head at all. Aroma is strong of dark chocolate and sweet mocha coffee. Palate dwells on a thin note throughout, never really achieving any depth or character. Flavor starts with dark chocolate, moves towards nuttiness, and ends in more chocolate and roasts. This is a decent, but elementary porter.

I really like this beer. Dark. Almost black colour; off-white head, mostly lasting. Aroma is burnt, nutty. The flavor gives the full impression of dark bread, faint coffee, dark chocolate, and more bread, mainly bitter finish.

Thanks to Nate for sharing this one! Dark brown pour with a thick beige head. Roast and light cram on the nose. Thin bodied. Roast, coffee, milk chocolate, and light bitterness

Dark brown, creamy beige head that is gone quickly. Nose of cocoa, milk, a nut mix, sand, and faint roasted malt. More roast and nut in the flavor, some chocolate, a little watery and with a short, weak finish. Decent but not impressive.

bottle at Ft Wayne tasting - Pours dark brown though not as dark as most porters and has a thin, off white head. The aroma is roast malt and coffee. The roast malt and coffee flavor is alright, but this is a thin brew for a porter. Decent hops balance. They really need to amp this one up though.
