Mar 27, 2006 12 oz bottle, 2001 or 2002 vintage. Pours an opaque black body under a small wispy covering of dark brown head. Aroma is large and complex, with chocolate pudding, vanills, soy, alcohol, carmalized dark fruits, and cooked whole wheat pasta. Flavor is roasty with a caramel overtone. Hints of burnt coffee, chalk, plums, raisins, and dates. Finish is dry and lingers quite a while. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate, very fine bubbled carbonation. Slightly oily in texture on the finish. Overall, almost as good as I remember it, but I think that I enjoyed it a bit more about a year ago when I last had a bottle from this batch.

Mar 20, 2006 (03.18.06) 11.2 oz brown bottle purchased from DiCarlo’s, Mundelein, IL. 7.2% ABV. Bottle labeled as best before 6/23/03. Pours opaque brown black with giant long lasting head. No discernable carbonation. Soy sauce and prunes in the nose. Full bodied with light malt sweetness and prune/roasted malt flavors. Vinous quality, reminiscent of port wine. Finishes with roasted coffee and burnt malt aftertaste. Smooth in the mouth. Though the port wine characteristic is somewhat overpowering, this is a very good drinkable porter.

Mar 19, 2006 Updated: Jul 22, 2008Bottle. 0,33l. Completely black with a delicate creamy brown head. Filigrees on the glass. Smell of chocolate. Roastedness dominates in the aroma - gradually tranformed into a cascade of other tastes. Chocolate again - and then some fruits. A lasting sweet fin(n)ish. Very good. KI=8

Mar 10, 2006 This one suffered being in comparison to the Olfabrikken, which we sampled directly before. A big sweet treacle aroma. Doesn’t seem to have the depth of flavour that the abv should command - it’s fairly bland and a bit watery. Good beer, but I expected more from this.
