Nøgne Ø Porter

375ml bottle LooseCannon was kind enough to split with me. Black as they come with a brown head.Toasty, chocolate cocoa like nose, a splash of coffee. Body is thick, seems a bit flat. Rich chocolate flavors, sweet, a hint of vanilla and a light floral bite. Very good!

Appearance: Very dark brown. Nice amount of head, and not short-lived. Aroma: Smokey, oaky, and malt. Coffee. Taste: Malty. Bitter. Smokey. Pretty bitter aftertaste. Dry. Info: 500ml bottle, 10/1-2007

Dark brown-black body accompanied by a rich tan head. Spotty lace - creamy too. Chocolate stout malt nose. Coffee flavors with lots of black patent and crystal malt.

Bottle from South Bay Drugs. Opaque black with a medium tan head. Prominent roasty mocha nose, very nice. Mmmm very deep, roasty rich chocolaty flavor with the perfect amount of caramel sweetness underneath. Very well balanced with a little citrus hop note in there. Not astringent or bitter. The takeaway flavor is caramel chocolaty goodness. Alcohol content very well hidden. Doesn’t have a thick body like some stouts; more like classic medium/light porter body with soft carbonation. Very flavorful and drinkable. Highly recommended.

16.9oz bottle. Pours pitch black in color with brown head. Aroma chocolate and coffee. Taste of dark chocolate, roasted malt and coffee with bitter finish.

Pretty nice porter. Molasses, very slight cocoa powder. This doesn’t seem to be the most complex of beers, but it’s not simplistic and it’s pretty darn tasty.

50cl bottle from KIngdom Liquors (Tampa, FL). Aroma is dark malt, ripe dark fruit, coffee, dark chocolate, molasses. Flavor is dark chocolate, toffee, coffee, heavy malt, sugar. Medium to heavy-bodied with a lingering chocolate-coffee finish. Nice porter.

Bottle. Completely black color, low tan head. Aroma of resiny hops and black soil. Wickedly smooth mouthfeel and a taste with plenty of chocolate and black patent malt. Very drinkable and very tasty!
