Mar 19, 2007 Pours a dark smokey looking black, with a very nice brown/tan head that sticks around for awhile. Nice smokey chocolate, coffee, and a carmelized fruit sweetness. Nice medium carbonation with a hint of floral hops on the finish. The flavor is not as full as the color and nose would suggest, but the finish is amazing. Nice light choclate wafer sweetness with hints of coffee and dried fruits. A very nice porter.

Nøgne Ø Porter is a very, very dark brown beer that is extremely opaque. The pour produces a compact, but dense tan head that seems to have a slight purple hue to it. Coffee is prominate in the aroma with a hint of chocolate and ripened fruit. The flavor is robust and quite complex as it shifts from coffee to bittersweet chocolate to dark, aged fruit. A subtle anise flavor is also detectable after the temperature of the beer rises some. The finish has a rich semi-sweet chocolate flavor with some roasted malt/coffee bitterness. The body of this beer is full and the mouthfeel is creamy and smooth. Nøgne Ø Porter is an very well made and well banaced beer that reminds me more of a stout than a porter...

May 26, 2007 Poured a very dark brown. Slight frothy head. Incredible amount of chocolate, and a good, smooth, creamy mouthfeel. This isn’t an over the top porter, but I think it’s one of the best I’ve had. Well balanced, and easy drinking. Enjoyed every ounce of it. Definitely worth seeking out.

Mar 14, 2008 What a taste. Beautifully smooth malty aroma with a hint of smoke, coffee, biscuits, raisins, salty liquorice, dark chocolate... Aftertaste is long, turns on the slightly sweet side. Another great beer from Norge.
