Nov 26, 2007 500ml from Sam’s, Durham. Nice looking pour with a slightly too-modest head. The aroma is delectable, very chocolatey, and the rich flavors continue in the taste (along with a generous, and fairly unexpected bit of smoke and roast coffee). Lustrous mouthfeel initially, but tapers off and is a bit too thin, I think. Overall, though, it’s a lovely porter with complexity and power.

Jul 26, 2008 Tasted 7/24/08. 500ml bottle. Dark brown and thick. Finger width of beige head. Toffee aromas with hints of cocoa, toast and mild anise. Solid nose! Rather full bodied with a sticky malt character. Coffee and bittersweet chocolate flavors. Cookies and dark berries. Sticky with a mild tart and bitter palate. Decent hop palate. Mild vanilla creaminess. Mild raisin note. Good rolling palate, but on the sweet side. Low effervescence and mild acidity. Almost a Baltic style, but hoppier. Totally tasty!

Apr 28, 2007 Updated: Nov 15, 2007Bottle 500 ml, batch # ??? (no dates or batchnumber on this bottle). Deep brown, almost black, with redtones in strong light. Coffe, roasted/burnt malt, liqourice, lovely fruity sweetness and vanilla - all balanced with nice hops. Dry, bitter finish. Another winner from Nøgne Ø!

Dec 31, 2007 Bottle: Dark brown pour with a medium sized tan head. Light lacing. Aroma is roasty and chocolates, also a light coffee presence. Flavor is more roasty and coffee oriented with chocolate complimenting in the background. Hints of bitters in the tail. Nice and creamy.

Mar 19, 2007 Bottle sampled at the Carolina tasting courtesy of Sam. Thanks! Pours out a black color with a big thick tan head on it. Smell is sweet, full of coffee, chocolate, and some fruity notes. It was served at almost perfect temperature. Taste was sweet and rich, with a heavy flavor of chocolate and coffee, yet very smooth. Not flawed in many ways, a very drinkable, very good example of the style. Thanks for this bottle Sam.

Sep 27, 2008 Bottle at Nnudd tasting. Courtesy of Yngwie. Poured black with a medium beige head. In nose licorice and roasted malts. Medium bodied. It tastes like licorice, bitter chocolate and roasted malts. I thought it would be more complex but pretty good porter.
