Leave it to the Norsk to create such a good brew. The best porter i have had since Samuel Smiths Taddy Porter. Awesome smoked malt and roasty chocolate coffee taste. Totally a bad ass beer.

I have a winner for rating #2800. From a bottle, new arrival at John’s Grocery. The body is very dark brown, near black with traces or garnet at the edges when held to light. The head is long lasting and medium khaki colored. The aroma is rich roasted coffee with some good hot chocolate. There is also a hint of fresh peas. The taste is lightly roasted almonds with some espresso in the finish. There is a little bit of bread crust and even some tangerines in the finish. The body is relatively thin and smooth. Everything I look for in a porter. This is a great beer, not just an amazing porter.

Huge, huge thanks to blankboy for sharing his bottle of this with me. Very dark brown, small bubbly brown head. Great aroma - chocolaty, rich, roast, wow! Taste is just as good if not better. Rich bitter roast, sweet chocolate. Nice bitter linger. Full bodied. Complex, yet so drinkable. Probably the best porter I have ever had and one of the best beers I have ever had.

Pours a deep shadowy black with a thin head of mocha. Laces intermittently. Aromas of licorice, plums, chocolate, and vanilla bean. Warming flavors of deep plum, licorice, dark wheat toast, roasty malts. Rich flavors. Heavily roasted malts. Lactose with anise. Creamy mouthfeel. Lingering aftertaste. Subtle smoke to me. I loved this beer.

Pours midnight brown w/ a tall lasting froth. Even though this brew was right out of the fridge it managed to push up a ton of foam. Great effort. The lacing is sticky, lasting, and fluffy w/ a thick downy canopy. Aromas of roasted coffee and dusty Belgian malts. Full nectar w/ soft and oily residual effers. A big, chewy, mocha basted, gluttonous malt backbone w/ a forward roast component comprise the general disposition here. Dry as a bone w/ heavily roasted coffee bean, leather, degrated darkfruit skins. The finish is bittered well w/ a rather strong hop profile. This is a huge beer. Strong w/ a serious attitude. Drinks like molten dark chocolate. I’ll bet it will benefit from some serious aging. I’m gonna toss a few in the age basket. Highly recommended.

Pours a deep brownish/black colorwith a small tan head.Aromas of coffee, roasted malts and chocolate and fruit (and maybe some hints of alcohol as well) Flavor matches aromas with hints of vanilla as well. Very smooth on the mouthfell. Leaves a nice chocolate/coffee flavor in your mouth. A wonderful porter!!

Nice chocolate coffee, oak and vanilla, creme brulée, milky. Smooth and creamy. Dark black-red with light foamy tan head. Medium-thick body with light carbonation. Starts with coffee chocolate malt, light acidic, smoky and silky. Finish is deep sweet bitter, a sour tang and light smoke. After is light tang, bitter, with chocolate. A very nice porter.
