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.

Flaske: Udmærket mørkebrun øl med et fint skumhoved. En tand mere brændt end sød. I starten underlig tynd mundfylde, men den bliver langsomt bedre. Ikke nogen stor øl, me drikbar.

A little label-work would be nice ...luckly its the inside that counts. The pour is dark brown with a little head that holds on to the edga of the glass. The nose is metalwise coffee with burned malts. The taste is pale. there is some smokemalts I guess with some chocolate and coffee. The palate is not a porter worthy and its too waterish. Disappointment

Bottle. Dark with beige head. Roasted, dark malt in aroma with some raisin and cocoa. Flavour is more subtle; still dark, roasted malts and cocoa, but not a lot of dark fruit. It has a certain lightness/freshness, which makes it quite drinkable. Lacks a bit of body, but I guess that only adds to the drinkability. Ends in a nice mellow bitterness.

Thanks again to Acknud for this bottle. Whow, this really gushed. Very dark brown color with ruby notes. Full hand frothy tan head. Rocky head. Aroma of coffee. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is coffee over lightly dark toasted malt with some chocolate hints. Finishes dryish. Quite flavorful.
