Jun 13, 2007 Bottle. Split with NachlamSie. Pours dense black, with a bit of a ruby tinge around the edges. A small tan head sits atop. The aroma is a huge roasty blast, full of dark chocolate and coffee. Flavor is bitter and dry roast and cocoa. Aroma led me to believe that the mouthfeel would be enormous, but it’s actually pretty average for the style. Very tasty.

Jun 13, 2007 Bottle split with Muenster. Pours black with some ruby tints. Head is a little small and tan. The aroma is hugely chewy and roasty. Lots of toasted notes up front, coffee, chocolate, toffee. Slightly ashy with a great earthiness in the flavor. Mouthfeel is right on. Actually, it dries out with a nutty finish. I like that. It’s a little grainy in the flavor, but still really good. The heavy roasted character and dark fruit sweetness pull everything together. I’m picking up some brown sugar, twigs, and a thin sourness. Very solid.

Jun 11, 2007 500ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with a thin tan head that leaves a little lacing.
The aroma is chocolate, coffee and grains and some roasted hops and burnt plastic.
The flavor is chocolate malts, nuts, and some coffee and a little anise with a little plastic at the end. It has a dry finish with some hop bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium and slightly watery.
Overall, it’s a decent porter, but has some off notes.

Jun 9, 2007 Perhaps I should have tasted this one after the Olfabriken. The roasted aroma is very evident, touch of cocoa. Flavor continues with the roasted theme, finishing with a touch of bitterness. Palate seemed a bit think for me, but I think I have tasted out of order. Very solid.

Jun 3, 2007 Dark brown pour with a frothy light brown head, the flavor is dry & roasty. The body is medium and a tad thin on the palate. It’s nice & easy drinking.

Jun 3, 2007 Updated: Sep 13, 2007Bottled. Creamy head, clearly nut color. Intense black color; much mushy, compact and dense. Winy and torrefy aroma with notes of must, American grape and braced malt. Much velvety but determined taste and at the same time solid. Aromas of coffee, burned wood and red wine. Extended and much resistant final.
