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.

Botella. Pours a deep dark brown colour. Roasty chocolate bit coffee aroma. Rather thin mouthfeel for a porter. The flavour has roasty malt with chocolate, siome coffee and some frutiness.

Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours deep brown with slight coppery edges. A fat, creamy beige head on top. Aroma is lightly roasted, some dark chocolate and clear notes of blackberries. Lowish carbonation, fine mouthfeel with some dryness. Flavour is rather dry, some ashy notes, coffee, dark chocolate. Good roasted notes. Fine porter.

Bottle. Low but lasting creamy light brown body. Very dark red almost black body. Mild and relatively sweet coffee choccolate hops aroma. Relatively watery in fact. Mild sweet and carbonated roasted malt flavor with a bit of coffee to it as wee. Still the watery impression prevails. Short aftertaste. Not a porter in my impression. More like an English mild or a German schwarzbier. Of course the alcohol percentahge is diffferent, the flavor however is not. Sorry mates, I know yoy can do better than that.
