Apr 7, 2009 Dark pitch black color, with a tan colored head, roasted malt, black coffee nose with a dark chocolatey, roasted coffee bean accent, with a mild molasses, burnt dried dark fruity note of raisins, dates and plums, and a faint licorice spicy aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, molasses, roasted malt, dark chocolate character, with a black coffee, faint mochaish flavor, with a hint of licorice spiciness and burnt fruitiness leading towards a fruity, chocolatey, lingering roasted bitterness finish.

Mar 31, 2009 pitch black with a very attractive thick and creamy white head. some hop and roasted notes to the nose. moderate mouthfeel. very nice flavor of some low crystal malt giving a nice sweetness with a lot of black patent character that makes the beer. some hop bitterrness comes through and maybe a little citrusy hop flavor from the American hops. a dry finish ends this very enjoyable robust porter. very good version

Mar 31, 2009 25/03 0.5 l bottle my friend brought from Trondheim, fala lipa Dijo! My first Norwegian beer, strange but true. It poured a black body, actually brown dark as hell, with small brown head, maybe the darkest I’ve seen on a beer! Coffee, caramel and some herbal spices dominate the aroma, but alcohol is felt as well. Fine flavor, dark malt shows up as a coffee with a bit of caramel. Slightly alcoholic. More subtle thing are starting to emerge while you drink it, as herbal spices and licorice, but I definitely miss some fruitiness to round it up, at least a little bit. Bitterish around the finish. Fine porter, but I still prefer our Tomislav to this.

Mar 22, 2009 Thanks retorp for the share. Pours dark brown/ black with a nose of earthy coffee, dark fruit, vanilla, and some cherry?. Flavor is roasted malt, ripe dark fruit, coffee, bitter chicory, up through the finish. Very enjoyable porter that is medium-bodied and finishes clean and somewhat bitter. Great porter.

Mar 1, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Dark, dark, dark pour with a big head. Definitely robust, which is how I like em. Roasty as hell. Some tobacco, some chocolate, plenty of awesomeness. One kickass porter.
