(Bottle, Bar & Cigar, Oslo, 5 nov 2009. Labeled "Norse Porter") Black colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty, slightly fruity nose with notes of roasted malt, dark fruit, chocolate, raisins and sweet coffee. Malty, roasted taste with dark berries, raisins, cherries, chocolate, dark coffee and cocoa. Mild cocoa bitterness in the finish. More than medium body with some sweetness lingering throughout. Starts with fruit and berries, with chocolate and coffee taking over after a while. Complex and very well balanced. Lovely porter!

Dec 22, 2009 500 ml. bottle. Pours a thin lasting mocha colored head, over a clear dark black almost opaque (SRM 40) body....nose is cherry, coffee, chocolate, soy sauce, bit of beef roast.....taste is coffee, soy sauce, bit of chocolate, light lingering hop bitterness....mouth feel is medium to light, carbonation low, with tiny bubbles. A very nice porter, with a mouth feel that is lighter than the aromas or flavors would suggest. The balance is here as is the malt complexity.

Nov 4, 2009 Courtesy of Ian ’Harrisoni’ (cheers mate) I had some of this at the Borefts Beer Festival, De Molen Brewery, Bodegraven, Netherlands 30-10-09 Pours black with some beige bubbling, soft bubbles in the mouth, touch of a sour tinge, some coffee. Nice beer but at times came across as a touch thin and watery, but likeable and tasty. A6 A4 F6 P4 Ov13 3.3

Oct 24, 2009 Bottle at Håndtverkerstuene. Pours dark, dark brown with a light brown creamy head. Aroma is sweet and fruity, with some roasted and burnt notes, some yeast and faint alcohol. Raisins, chocolate and coffee is added in the flavour, where the burnt notes is complemented by an ashy and smoky character. Body is medium, carbonation is a bit sharper than I’d like.
