Aug 20, 2009 Bottle. Deep dark brown color, opague. Hints of oak, aquavit and grapes in the aroma. Full bodied, almost oily texture. tart flavor with alcoholic notes, licorice, grapes and aquavit. Just hints of roast in the aftertaste. Lovely, but is it really only 7% ABV?

Aug 15, 2009 Bottled at PBF. Almost black reddish brown color. Sweet, roasty, vinous, smoky and sour aroma. Sweetish, sour and roasty flavor with coffee and acetic acid. Sourness and roastiness, interesting combination. Acetic acid stings in the throat.

Jul 16, 2009 Virtually no head (very low carbonation),only a brown fringe of thin foam when poured gently. Medium body and surprisingly little complexity in its composition (compared to my expectations), which tips far more towards a kind of sour ale than porters normally do, due to its very present aqua vita flavor. All in all it renders the beer far too sour and vinegar-ish for my taste, and its other components cannot disarm the overpowering sourness of the brew. A flawed experiment from Haandbryggeriet, in my humble opinion.

Jul 8, 2009 Updated: Aug 17, 2009Bottled at PBF. Near black, almost no head. Interesting tast vinous nose. Oaky nose Rodenbach style. Tart and lighter in body than expected. The roastiness from the porter only manifests itself as a slight hint of tar in the finish. Instead this beer is all about oaky tartness with vinegar and wood.
Finally Haandbryggeriet makes a beer that is not only interesting on the paper, this is by far the best ever from them!

Jul 4, 2009 (Bottled) Very dark brown with a small beige head. Very oaky and vinegary-sour aroma with licorice. Flavor of vinegary maltiness, not much roast until the finish, hints of licorice and oak. Pretty viscous body, although not quite full, with low carbonation. Forget about porter in the name - a very nice sour ale!

Jul 4, 2009 Bottled (batch 147, 200308, PBF).
Opaque brown-black color, not much head. Woody, acidic vinegardish aroma. Wineous vinegar flavor. There is some toasted dark malts and wood. Was beer supposed to be acidic or was it born acidic? Do I like this or not?
