| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 23, 2007 (Bottle 50 cl) Pours completely opaque black with a small, beige head. Roasted aroma with some licorice. Medium body, soft and rather flat mouthfeel. Dominated by roasted malt accents, almost creamy smooth with touches of both licorice and coffee. Dry with some bitterness. Quite an intense and concentrated flavour pattern for a beer of this modest strength. 200707 KnutAlbert (3127), Oslo, Norway
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 2, 2007 Bottled. Strong liquorize aroma, and the taste is liquorice and coffee. It coames across as a bit too salty. Rather flat, a bit watery. It is one of the best beers available in Norwegian supermarkets, but it’s not fulfilling its potential. larsga (2959), Oslo, Norway
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 29, 2007 Biggish dark brown head. Opaque black body, barely translucent dark red at edge. Sweet delicate licorice and toffee aroma with notes of coffee and traces of pine needles. Sweetish coffee taste with minty licorice notes and dark chocolate. A tad watery, but definitely good for the amount of alcohol, and still a smooth mouthfeel. Nicely balanced and harmonic. Dry, coffeeish aftertaste with notes of dark chocolate. Burnt coffeeish taste lingers. Very nice! (0.5l bottle.) Gr0ve (1399), Oslo, Norway
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jun 27, 2007 500 ml bottle. Pitch black. Rich cocoa aroma. Lots of roasted malt character. Nicely rounded flavours and very mellow as there is is little carbonation. Hops are there but they hide well into the background and never come to the fore. This is a great porter. Wonderful balance and very smooth. Great drinkability. omhper (12219), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 21, 2007 Bottled at Pikkulinttu, Helsinki. Black, small head. Light fruity coffee aroma. Medium sweet and medium bodied with clean rounded mouthfeel. Fairly low bitterness, A core of chewy, roasty malt provides everything this beer offers, and that is quite a lot.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 18, 2007 Updated: Oct 17, 2007Bottle. Opaque dark brown with a proper carbonation level (read: not so fizzy as we know the Haandbryggeriet beverages). A tiny, beautiful chocolate head quickly fading to a ring of foam. Dry and mild aromas of dark chocolate and roast. Taste is dry and powerful with espresso, roast, licorice, bittering hops and tar. Medium body. Lingering bitter, coffee-ish finish. A very well made Porter! madsberg (4965), Søborg, Denmark

Light roasty. Flavour is cocoa, light roast, light spice. Has some herbal notes. Is very dry. Medium bodied. Ends on a light roasty bitterness. Quite good, but a little consolation after todays totally fucked up footballmatch between Denmark and Sweden. Jukkabro (3019), Tampere, Finland
