 Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA
Apr 28, 2007 From a 500 ml bottle, this was the fourth beer sampled at Cellar’s Nøgne Ø on Friday. Pours a dark mahogany brew with a thin tan head. Aroma of sweet roasted malt barley, caramel, some milk chocolate and bread dough yeast. Not much hop presence in aroma. Taste is semi-sweet, fruity, and some raspberry/coffee. A slight bitter aftertaste. Very good porter.

Apr 26, 2007 Brown colored fine foam, although not very much of it. Deep brown body. Lovely coffee/chocolate aroma, with a hoppy undertone. A burned wood/coffee flavour, a bit like E150c but it is very good!

Apr 24, 2007 Bottle, poured black with deep brown edges. Blackest porter I’ve ever had. Great roasty aroma, a bit of anise, cherry and vanilla. Great flavor, burnt malts with a sweetness that melds incredibly. This is a top notch porter. Norway is off to a good start in my book.

Apr 22, 2007 16.9oz bottle, no date. Black with brown edges and a 1/2 finger fading brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, earth, ash, lactose, and light molasses. Flavor is ashy and smoky with deeply roasted malts, moderate bitterness, light alcohol, anise, a bit of raisins and an ashy roasted malt finish. Low carbonation with a creamy medium body. Pretty good--for once I haven’t been let down by these guys.
Darkover (1308), Columbus, Ohio, USA
Apr 21, 2007 Very dark brown with a brown head. Aroma and flavor of rich roasted malt, with some chocolate and coffee. Pretty smooth and drinkable.
Tmoney99 (4660), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
Apr 20, 2007 Bottle. Poured black color with an average frothy brown head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Moderate roasted coffee and tart fruit aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium dark sweet flavor with medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Solid complex beer that would go well with a good after dinner cigar.
Zeswaft (1000), Seattle, Washington, USA
Apr 19, 2007 Pours black with tan head. not nearly as thick, rich, or good as the olfabrikken porter i just had. The nose is surprisingly hoppy but those waxy euro hops. I thought i had farted when i opened this. Flavor is waxy, smokey and lacking significant coffee or chocolate. It’s an alright porter, but not the best and definitely not worth the exorbitant philly price at ~$10 a bottle.
