Nøgne Ø Porter

yummy bottle at ethereal’s. Raspberry, medicinal herbs, seaweed, toasted malt, tar black, brown stable head, camphor, roasted barley, bitter, salty liquorice sweets, smooth, expertly balanced, yummy stuff.- this is honestly what my notes looked like! a bit of a mess but i did really like it :-)

Thanks to my secret santa for this. Pours black with a modest, long-lasting tan head. Aroma is distinctly "Nogne" with a sort of burnt caramel, mineral heavy water, leaves, roast, chocolate, raisins...pretty versatile aroma when warm. When cold, it’s kinda meh. Tastes more normal though, some roast astringency, dirt, minerals, coffee, finishing with a pleasant roasty aftertaste, a little lactose as the beer gets swallowed. Medium palate, easy drinking, fairly well carbonated. It’s alright.

Pours a nice black color with a tan head. Roasted aroma with coffee and some chocolate. Tastes of predominantly roasted malts with coffee and dark chocolate. Well-balanced, creamy with just a hint of carbonation.

Pours an opaque, black body with foamy, tan head. Aroma of cocoa, malts, yeast, bread, and some hops. Flavor initially is dark fruit, but then gives way to a strong dark roasted malt taste with cigar smoke. The dark fruit character tends to come out more as the beer warms. Medium-bodied, but comes off slightly watery. Smoke and coffee aftertaste.

Thanks to zeke626 for sharing. The beer was opaque black/brown almost motor oilish, generous amount of light brown head. Mild hops and faint chocolate malt were present in the aroma. I tasted fairly bold burnt malt (but not charred) with the faint presence of sugar and alcohol. The hops were almost non-existent. As it warmed I began to get more alcohol and the taste of sweet dark fruit at the start of the beer. Smooth, not too heavy on the palate. A very solid porter!

Bottle. About one year old from cellar. Pours beautiful plum black with smallish light brown head. Aroma: Coffee, dark fruits, roasted malts yum! Wonderful creamy texture with light carbonation on the back of my tongue. Bitter hop finish.

500ml bottle, 28th Feb 2008. Pours pure black with a tan head. Aroma of medicinal herbs and toasted malt, with coffee and fruity hints. Great aroma of dark roasted malt, camphor, salty liquorice and bitter chocolate and coffee. Perfectly smooth as it goes down. Great stuff!

Poured black with a dark brown head. Aroma - Coffee, malt and dark fruit. A lot of dark chocolate up front with some dark fruits - raisins and plums - notes of roast malt, coffeee and a touch of bitterness.
