 Borresteijn (1349), Amstelveen, Netherlands
Aug 26, 2008 Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Dark brown/black colour, beige head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate and roasted malts, a bit musty. Flavour is bitter, roasted malts and strong coffee, some dark chocolate, slight sweetness. OK porter, but expected a bit more.
SQNfan (591), Wheaton, Illinois, USA
Aug 22, 2008 Deep brown in color with a moderate head. The nose shows hoppy aromas of chocolate and coffee beans. In the mouth it is on the hoppy side which comes off as light-on-its-feet. I would prefer a bit more mid-palate concentration and flavor but this is well made and balanced.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Pretty much black with a decent brown head although without much lacing. Aroma is dark roasty malt, chocolate, and coffee. Lovely mild sweetness and goes down very smooth with a slightly dry aftertaste. Very good.
17thfloor (1403), Chicago, Illinois, USA
Aug 18, 2008 Pours a murky dark espresso brown with a lovely light creamy tan head. Sweet molasses aroma, bakers chocolate and lots of fresh hops. Rich chocolate, condensed milk, floral hops, a bit vinous and nutty, light coffee and molasses, complex and definitely Nogne. Medium/light body with silky tingling carbonation. Easy drinking Porter that could easily be a Brown Ale. Really a well done brew.
Archibaldo de la Cruz (394), Finland
Aug 9, 2008 Bottle, batch 269. Black colour with a small brown head. Aroma is sweet and coffee with hints of liquorice. Strong, bittersweet, coffee, dark chocolate and liquorice taste. Oily and quite full-bodied. Dry, long and roasted mouthfeel. An excellent porter.

sneagrams3 (1704), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
Jul 26, 2008 Tasted 7/24/08. 500ml bottle. Dark brown and thick. Finger width of beige head. Toffee aromas with hints of cocoa, toast and mild anise. Solid nose! Rather full bodied with a sticky malt character. Coffee and bittersweet chocolate flavors. Cookies and dark berries. Sticky with a mild tart and bitter palate. Decent hop palate. Mild vanilla creaminess. Mild raisin note. Good rolling palate, but on the sweet side. Low effervescence and mild acidity. Almost a Baltic style, but hoppier. Totally tasty!
