Thanks to Badgerben for sharing. Batch #79. The beer was opaque dark brown with light brown foam. In the aroma I got mild sweet fruit, alcohol, and some coffee malt. In the flavor I swear I detected some oak. I also got mild dark roast malt, coffee/burnt malt, dark fruit, alcohol, and mild hops. As it warmed: I got chocolate on the nose and more burnt malt and alcohol. Palate-wise it was smooth.

Oct 3, 2008 Bought a bottle @ Vinmonopolet when visiting Oslo.
Pours a darkbrown/almost black color with a nice brownish head.
Aroma of dark chocolate, burnt notes, roasted malt and coffee. Almost imperial stoutish smell, very nice!
Flavour is malty with notes of burnt/roasted malt, coffee and dark chocolate, slightly smokey. Medium bitterness.
Mouthfeel is quite filling, round and smooth. The liquid is a bit thin.
A highly drinkable and well made porter!

Oct 2, 2008 Heavenly aroma of fine roast coffee, black, pours a small tight cappuccino head. Flavour is is roasted, almost burnt coffee, lucious toasty malt. Full bodied, very well balanced, bold, bitter and beautiful. Fantastic! Thanks for sharing Radek Kliber!

Sep 26, 2008 Getting my notebook online. Bottle. Pours a brown black. Roasted malt predominate. Hints or some coffee, and some vague dry fruit. Pretty strong example!!

Sep 24, 2008 (Bottle). Aroma is very ashy, and lots of coffee. Extremely dark brown, with large brown head. Flavor is quite striking, bitter-sweet and coffee and some fruit. Has a lot of character, although the particular flavor profile was not especially to my liking.

Sep 24, 2008 Very dark brown. Chewy, fudgey aroma with some burnt raisins and okinawan black sugar. Very chewy, lots of burnt raisins and a fairly strong, sweet, malt background. Nicely balanced, rounded.
