May 28, 2008 Lots and lots of raisin flavors, stewed fruit make this a much heavier beer that I expected. I have never really loved the raisin and prune characteristics of dark malts and can’t say that this beer has turned me on to them.

Nov 17, 2007 Bottle. Nearly opaque brown-black color with a medium sized dark brown head. Bittersweet chocolate and hints of roastiness in the aroma. Dark alefruit up front, with a nutty toastiness. Slight smokiness with a large chocolate character. Roasty, toasty finish with lingering baker’s chocolate and a phenolic bite. Mouthfeel is a heavy medium, somewhat dry.

Feb 12, 2008 Pours pitch black with a good sized tan head. Nose has noticeable cocoa powder tones and coffee notes as well. Flavor is more along the roasted edge. as it warms up there seems to be a sweet edge that borders on being berry influenced almost. Stays nice and rounded and a good aftertaste is left to linger. Feel is smooth. Carbonation is higher. Drinkable, yes. I like.

Sep 22, 2008 (Bottle). Aroma is slightly hoppy, some coffee and citrus. Black, with gargantuan thick fluffy brown head. Delicious flavor profile.....chocolate, malt, caramel, a touch of roastiness. Lengthy bitter finish. Wonderfully delicious.

Dec 20, 2007 500 ml bottle from Holiday. This one pours and opaque black color with a one finger tan head that last a short while. The aroma was medium in strength with dark chocolate and a touch of molasses. The flavor is rich with more dark chocolate, cappuccino, plums , roasted malts and an earthy quality. The hops are effective and well integrated, but its the malts that carry the day with this porter. The mouthfeel is smooth, full and creamy. The finish is long and gratifying. Overall: This is a great porter and a malt-head’s dream. Recommended.

Apr 12, 2007 Nice complex aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee beans. Appearance is opaque black with a creamy tan head. Flavor is balanced between the sweetness and bitterness. The hops are subdued but yet still play an important factor in the game. Very enjoyable. I’m interested in trying more Nogne beers, as this is my first one. I’m half Norwegian, and proud of my heritage for putting out a quality product here.

Aug 10, 2007 Left me start this by saying, I drank this immediately after drinking the Olfabrikken Porter, so needless to say, it came in second. Pours a watery opaque black with a slightly off white head that faded quickly. Smells of roasted malt, sugar and dark fruits. Flavor is malty, but not too roasted, toffee, oranges and more dark fruit. Finish is smooth but a little watery. Very drinkable and pleasant.

Dec 29, 2007 Big brown-black color, lots of chalky smoky coffee and chocolate in this. A rich tasting porter.
