Aug 1, 2009 From the keg at Platform Bar, Brisbane. Pours very dark brown with a medium off white head. Rich dark chocolate, toast, mocha and dark fruit. Smooth mouthfeel and good bitterness. A nicely balanced porter. Big malty finish. My only problem is that one glass just isn’t enough!

Jul 20, 2009 My first Scandinavian rating! Simple and attractive label. Very nice pour - a big tan head comes billowing up from the black liquid. A rich, sweet aroma with a bit of yeast and cheese. Flavor is dry and fresh: some coffee, smoke, and tart and bitter hops. There is something a little unusual too, like spruce or juniper or coriander. Maybe it is just the Norwegian water (which I bet is excellent). A very good dry porter.

Jul 15, 2009 500ml bottle. Pours a near-black color with a relatively small tan head. Allowed to warm up slightly before consuming (not to 50, but closer), as consumed additional aroma and flavor stood out more. Aroma of sweet chocolates, lightly roasted malts, touch of coffee. Flavor is a bold, dark and milk chocolate with light malts flavor, with notes of coffee hidden in the rear. Finish is a Bitter finish, dark chocolates. A really wonderful beer, with a relatively low alcohol content for easy consumption.
