Jan 20, 2006 Bottle - trade with chris_o. A black beer with a nice tan coloured head, but that disappears quite quickly. The aroma is quite smoky and roasty with a tiny of amount of dark berry fruit. The taste has nice roasted malts and a dry coffee/chocolate feel to it. I felt it had a nice fullish body, and really enjoyed it. Interestingly the BBE is tomorrow, so this is matured the maximum the brewer would recommend.

Jan 4, 2006 Bottle brought back from Denmark by a friend, thanks Mette. Very dark brown/black beer with lasting dark beige head. Smokey chocolate and coffee aroma. Really lovely porter. Could do with some dark fruit. Choc though is really nice and bitter. Good grainy mouthfeel

Jan 2, 2006 Updated: Jul 9, 2007Bottled. Dark brown, next to black, yet with a reddish hue, and topped by a nice brown head. Roasted aroma with some bonfire-sour smoke, chocolate and a little fruityness. The flavor much the same, with a nice roasted bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite warming, smooth mouthfeel. Maybe it has improved since they started brewing it, I don’t know, but I lifted my rating a bit. It could use more body, and even though the aroma is nice, it is a bit anonymous, but a good beer it is. Old rating 5-4-5-4-13-3.1. (Rerated 070709) (051213)

Nov 26, 2005 500ml bottle. Almost black, with a reddish tinge. No head to speak of. Chocolate and soy sauce aroma, with phenolic edges. On the palate there’s chicory coffee, licorice, powdery chocolate and bags of roasty malt. Quite bitter, but there’s an underlying sweetness too. The mouthfeel is maybe a bit thin. Decent bite on the finish. A commendable effort.

Oct 3, 2005 Black colour with an off white medium head. Spicy flavour with hints of licorice and anice. Only a medium body, but lots of taste.

Sep 1, 2005 500 ml bottle, bought in Hvide Sande, Denmark. ABV is 6.5%. Nearly black colour (= very dark brown to ruby), large tan head. Roasty aroma, notes of coffee and chocolate, hints of leather and liquorice. Roasty flavour with coffee and chocolate, smoother and sweeter than expected. Some bitterness from the roastiness, but the hops are not plentiful. Not very complex, but it’s a nice and very drinkable porter. Does not quite live up to the high price, though.

Aug 31, 2005 Bottle. Near black with fine beige head. Olive oil, roasted, slightly rusty, touch of acidity (primarily in the aroma), light bodied considering abv. Pleasent porter but far from outstanding.
