Clear dark brown color, big brown head. Good strong porter aroma, coffee, licorice, some roasted malt, dried fruit. Good creamy texture. Roasted taste, bitter, coffee, some chocolat. Very good porter.

Cask at Ølbaren. A great porter. Coffee aroma, and taste. Finish is sweet and creamy. A great porter with great complexity.

This bottled brew from Patrick767 at a rating party poured a head of bubbles that were and left behind a opaque no visible carbonation black colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was brown malt mild hop and dark malt. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start mediumly tingly at the finish hoppy aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of dark malt and brown malt. A decent one that I would consider having again.

black, small but firm film of head. Aroma of roasted nuts, roasted malt, coffe beans and something you would find at a burning fireplace. Taste is a bit hoppy, with tangling carbonation. Well balanced, long aftertaste of mocca, malts and hops. Very nice example of the style

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.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color porter with a big slightly off-white foamy head with good retention. Aroma of chocolate malt is quite interesting and well balance by some roastiness. Taste is a well balance mix between some chocolate malt with some roasted malt providing some bitterness. Texture is really creamy and this is appreciated considering the style.

Bottle. Pours a nice black color with a medium tan head. Roasted malt in the aroma, as well as some chocolate in a hint of coffee. Nice balance in the aroma. Sweet taste. Some molasses and brown sugar. Light malt and some roasted coffee. One thing I will say is Nøgne is one of my favorite brewing companies. You know you get quality with them. And this is a solid porter.

(Bottled, Brewed July 3rd, 2006) Very dark reddish brown color with a medium, foamy, beige head. Strong, bittersweet, licorice-chocolatey aroma with some ashy and alcoholic notes. Dry and ashy, quite malty, coffeeish flavor with licorice hints. Long, bitter and dry-ashy aftertaste. Slicky-oily, slightly rough, medium to full-bodied palate with medium carbonation. A very nice, balanced and enjoyable porter. Quite close to the Koff Porter - yet easier to drink, since it’s not as dry and bitter.
