Beer Here
Brewed at Nøgne Ø
Style: Porter
Copenhagen, Denmark

Bottle. Nice dark brown pour with a thin head of fizzy bubbles. Aromas are roasty chocolate, rye (?), a little bit of soy or something. Flavor is that of a very nice chocolate and rye porter. Mouthfeel is pretty silky but the carbonation is almost cola-like across the palate. This is pretty sweet up front, but has a nice bitterness to the finish.

Bottle. Pours near black with a tan head. Roasty, almost smoky aroma, with a hint of coffee. The flavor has roasted malts, darker chocolate, rye like malts, and a nice dry roasty finish. Very tasty.

Comes out of the bottle (foaming like nobody’s business!) a very dark sable, only a whisker above black, with a very thick, fine-bubbled, light beige head. Rich aroma is smoky with an overtone of fresh pumpernickel bread and hints of malt and molasses. Mouth-filling flavor is like liquid pumpernickel with mocha and molasses undertones and just a teeny hint of hops and a whisper of sweetness. Lively, fizzy texture is fairly smooth and leaves a nice tingle.

Pours a rich brown appropriate for style. Flavor dominated by dark malts (carafa) with a bright note (from rye probably) and a smoke note. There is also some esters, rather than super clean lager yeast notes. Residual sugars balance the alcohol leaving a sweet finish.

Bottle thanks to blutt59. Black in color with a good sized tan head. Aroma is of coffe, chocolate and bread. Taste is of pumpernickel, coffee, spices, and earth.

Bottle. Poured black with a nice woody brown head. Aroma was full of roasted malts, a bit of rye, cinnamon and a touch of coffee. Flavor had strong roasted malts with undertones of rye, cinnamon and coffee. Smooth and thick on the tongue.

Half liter bottle. Pours almost black with a light brown head. Aroma of some chocolate, roast and spices: mint, and a fairly strong hop presence- citrus, floral, slightly piney. A good amount of caramel and toffee as well. Taste is very malty, with roast, coffee, licorice, caramel, toffee and brown sugar. A good amount of hop presence with citrus and pine. I was hoping to get more rye or more specifically caraway. regardless, this was a very nice beer. Bitterness gets fairly strong in the finish.

.5 liter bottle, from Wine and Liquor Outlet- Boonton, NJ. Pours a rich dark black with a nice lasting foamy tight light khaki head. Aroma is sligith minty green fresh pnw hops, toast, toffee sweetness, roast, char, chocolate, and some coffee- lots of green piny hops, and a sharp moderate amount of licorice and anise, and root beer- which added with the pnw hops kinda seems like mt rainier on steroids. Flavor is cola, root beer, licorice root, pine mint, moderate toffee and malty sweetness, ok roast, low chocolate, low to med coffee with a dry mineral chalk-like finish- smooth and a fading mouthfeel and a fleeting aftertaste- bitterness is ok though. I didn’t get enough pumpernickel overall like I had expected or wanted, but it turned into a very unique, hopped out herbed out export stout. Pretty tasty and easy drinking.
