May 22, 2008 bottle from Dakine, thanks!
Slightly light pour, it’s a dark brown, not so much black. The aroma is intoxicating, lots of chocolate, and some nice sweet malt. But i cant get my nose out of the glass, it’s like smelling chocolate cake, or brownies, i love it!
the flavour isn;t as full bodied as the aroma would make you believe. There is some nice malt, and somokiness in the flavour, and the hops come through a tad in the finish. A really decent porter.

May 20, 2008 12 fl oz. bottle. Dark reddish black colour. Medium-sized off-white head. Gentle malt aroma with some roasted notes, but no harsh notes at all. Very mellow. Hints of licorice and chocolate. More roasted flavours than in the aroma. Sweetish malt flavours with quite a bit of residual sugars. The hops cut through most of this. Nicely balanced.

May 17, 2008 Smallish beige head. Deep dark red barely translucent body. Sweet malty roasty aroma with chocolatey notes as well as straw and mint. Sweet roasty straw and chocolate taste with milky tobaccoish notes. Fain resiny minty hops. Some licorice. Dryish edge throughout. Taste is long, but there is no separate aftertaste. Quite a good session porter. (0.355l bottle, Beer Palace, Oslo. Brewed 2007-05-01. A bit old. Seems oxidized, so should rerate.)

May 10, 2008 draft @ brewery. Pours nearly opaque, small chocolate head. The aroma is very roasty with definite notes of dark vinuous fruits. Crisp and full of flavor. Smoke, chocolate, the dark vinuous fruits are present in the flavor (anis, plum) Finishes with medium bitterness. Really rich and complex. Sweet and full flavored. Very Nice.
