(on bottle 2005 edit.) I´m sad tosay this, but I do think that this beer has seen it´s better days. Then again, I had expected alot from it, and for a 6% eer to last this long and get 3.7 is quite good and OK. Black and beige head. Woodand tar for the best part; oss fungyness and old cabin forthe worst. Smooth feel, yet watery(good , it´s a porter) Chocolates, liqourice nd elderberries; still I would get those 2005 bottles opend right away(call me before and I´ll help you out).

Bottle (2005) @ Den Tatoverede Enke, Copenhagen. Black color with a average fair lacing brown head. Aroma is heavy malty, roasted, burnt, licorice, notes of smoke. Flavor is heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration, in a very good balance. Full body.

Bottle, 2005 vintage tasting @ Den Tatoverede Enke, Copenhagen. Head was spare and light brown and mostly dimishing. Lacing was spare. Color was black. Aroam was quit complex with notes of chocolate, coffee, roasted, wood, smoke, licorice. Full bodied with a creamy texture and a flat carbonation. Flavor was moderated sweet with light bitter notes. Finish was balanced bitter-sweet and average lasting.

Denne flaske er fra 2005 og det er sort og har intet skum. en har en mærkelig duft af pære, bitter choko og noget ristet og kaffe. Det samme gælder smagen, dog uden det pæreværk. Er fyldig og sådan set udemærket med en god fylde.

Courtesy of Marsiblursi. 2004 vintage. Bottle # 192. It pours black right off and settles a touch darker. The head is at first very bubbly, but settles into a creamy, but very thin, mocha color. The aroma is reminiscent of chocolate and coffee liqueurs. There are also liquor spiked fudge brownie notes. It somehow manages to smell moister than even a liquid should. <P> Lots of strong bitter coffee in the fore. It isn’t so much thin as it has a very watery taste through the middle. Some milk and black chocolate also make a play and the finish is somewhat burnt/coffee bitter with a faint touch of booxiness. Curious for a 6% abv beer.

A huge thanks to sk8viking for bottle number 172. This pours jet black with a thin white head. What immediately hits you is the very strong coffee aroma. The body of the beer is surprising light. This beer is very drinkable. The only thing I really didn’t like was a slightly lactic aftertaste.

On bottle 0,5l at Glenfiddich Warehouse No 68 Stockholm 30 Nov 2006. Bottle no 90. Shared with omhper and Rune. Completely black. A shortlived brown head. Strong aroma of coffee. Very discrete flavours with all the ingrediences you expect from a porter. A lasting aftertaste with hints of coffee. Well rounded. Very good!

Special bottle, vintage 2005, sampled with Finn and Omhper at Glenfiddich Warehouse in Gamla Staden, Stockholm. Appealing, dark copper red body with a medium, brownish foam blanketing the glass. Bittersweet aromatic nuances with a peaty touch. Rounded chocolate taste supported by burnt coffee beans. The beverage gives a smokey impression. Depth in flavour, but rather soft palate and easy to drink (Thanks to Omhper for the recommendation, 30.11.2006).
