500ml bottle, part of the six-pack Schatzkiste from the brewery. Picked up by Gaute at Systembolaget Luleå. Creamy, light brown head. Ruby shade to a dark body. Sweet aroma of dark malts. Candy sweet taste of brown malts and some dry hops. Mild sweet ending. Floury mouthfeel. One dimensional and too sweet. Possible to dink (shared with Finn at a tasting session, Tromsø 29.05.2013).

50cl bottle, Störtebeker sample case. Did not see this coming seen previous decent ( Weizen) and hit (Atlantik Ale) brews by this brewery, but this was impossible to finish: nutty like a brown ale, coating the palate in nothing but oil and sugar like Vitamalz. Spicy hop presence swallowed by carmel-coffee sweetness, a plastic Nestle cup of cappucino bought at the petrol station. Something to be frozen and offered on a stick at the fair. A perversion of the style and a compromising sugar stain on Störtebeker’s hanseatic banner.

Bottle, march 29nd 2013. Dark brown, almost black, with a dark red tint, head is low and beige. Aroma is malty, caramel, dust, taste of sugar, coke and hints of roasted malt. It’s far too sweet for me. While also being very thin with a buttery sweet aftertaste I think I’ll pass next time I’m offered this beer.

Bottle at home. Pours dark amber brown with a nice head. Slightly sulpher aroma, a little caramel. Medium full body, very caramel taste no bitterness. More a sweet brown ale than a porter.

Rating #814. Drukket i Ørum, fra svigerfars ølskab og halvandet år over holdbarhedsdato. Duften var chokoladeagtig og sød med kun et strejf af humle. Allerede nu var smagen præget af en portvinsagtig gæring. Spørgsmålet er om den ville have gjort sig godt med et år mere på smagen. Kulsyren var endnu ikke så mild som portere der har lagret i længere tid, men portvinssmagen trængte mindst ligeså tydeligt frem som den Carls Porter jeg prøvede der var gået 5 år over tid. Relativt tyk og cremet, samt mild i kulsyren - dog ikke helt flad. En positiv oplevelse, men jeg var forbavset over den hurtige udvikling i smagen. Jeg vil gerne prøve den frisk fra bryghuset.

Bottle. Pours a brown color with a small off-white head. Has a roasted malty caramel aroma. Roasted malty caramel flavor with weak hints of chocolate. Has a roasted malty caramel finish.

Bottle. Pours clear dark ruby with airy, quickly vanishing light tan head. Clear aroma of roasted malt with hints of caramel. Sweet flavour of caramel and sugar with some malty notes, ending slightly roasty. Richly carbonated. Drinkable but would be much better without the excessive sweetness.

brown foam, cola caramel color. sugar caramel sweet flavor. A beer that would fit well with bacon. Feel no alcohol flavor in the beer, too bad it is a weak porter, would have been interesting to store it otherwise. Think this is a good tip for the summer drink for the next heat.

Bottle. Brown colour with a beige head. Sweet aroma. Flavour is very sweet, sugar, caramel. A bit on the watery side. The relatively low alcohol is really noticeable, lacks a good balance and roundness.
