Nøgne Ø Porter

Blackish slightly viscous pour with a finely beaded moussy brown head. Bitter dark chocolate coffee and dried dates and figs in the note along with some bready notes Taste: A very warm inviting rich blend of dark cocoa, espresso like notes dark dried fruits and some nutty flavors enveloped in a lightly silky package stopped from being too viscous with just a touch of chalkiness Overall: What a wonderful beer - I just love the silky smooth textural component enveloping a lot of classic porter like notes. The best part being the dark malt flavors compliment and not dominate each other

black, small but firm film of head. Aroma of roasted nuts, roasted malt, coffe beans and something you would find at a burning fireplace. Taste is a bit hoppy, with tangling carbonation. Well balanced, long aftertaste of mocca, malts and hops. Very nice example of the style

Black; creamy tan head. Rich depth of dark malts. Dry, bitter, rich; creamy. A very excellent porter.

Good beer. My 11th a beerfest. I couldn’t find this beer booth at first. I would towel off from the pool and have a Porter with cheese and crackers.

9/13/08 - Bottle courtesy/shared with Naka. Pours black with thin, khaki head. Nose is sugar and raisin, slight chocolate and caramel. Fantastic oak and bourbon-esque character. Taste is slight coffee and lits of chocolate, slight spicy notes. a bit of oak and bourbon-y alcohol. moderately watery mouth feel. Chocolate and slight bitter finish. Great porter.

Bottle at Nnudd tasting. Courtesy of Yngwie. Poured black with a medium beige head. In nose licorice and roasted malts. Medium bodied. It tastes like licorice, bitter chocolate and roasted malts. I thought it would be more complex but pretty good porter.

bottle. deep brown pour with a big fizzy tan head that never goes away completely. sweet coffee, bread and milk smells. little thinner than I was expecting (for some unknown reason) - but still had a chewy quality to it. tastes of dark fruits, toasted malts, dark chocolate and soy. interesting. not sure I’ve had a porter like this before. probably more complex than any I’ve had before - but maybe wouldn’t be dying to try again. K-8

Medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation and mild dry quite smooth texture. Moderated sweet and bitter flavor in balance. Lingering smooth malty finish. Very drinkable.
