Ølfabrikken Gammel Ekstra Porter

Formerly brewed at Bryggeriet Ølfabrikken (Gourmetbryggeriet)
Style: Porter
Roskilde, Denmark

Sampled on 2/3/07, thanks to goldtwins: Has an almost still, oily opaque pour. Aroma of sweet dark caramel malt with lots of dark fruits and some smoky notes. Body starts full, malty and sweet with nice dark fruity plum and caramel complexity with a dense creamy finish with big roasty smoky notes. A very nice beer with great balance and surprising drinkability!

Bottle. Big thanks to Sk8viking for this one. Cheers René. [Batch nr. 55, 13. Dec. 2005]. This one was really special, and amazingly brewed. Goes down so smooth, just like a port wine. Appearance of head almost none excising. What was there was brown and fizzy like. Color was coffee black with no penetrating light what so ever. Aroma was quit complex with notes of licorice, wild barriers and dry fruit, chocolate, coffee, roasted, alcohol, wood and even some hoppy notes as well. Very vinous bouquet. Full bodied with an oily texture and a flat carbonation. Flavor is playful moderated sweet notes with balancing burned candies bitterness. Lovely finish that lingers for ever. Well done Ølfabrikken!

Big thanks to kramer18701 for this bottle. Pours dark brown/black, with a brown head. Aropma is chocolate, roasted malt, licerice, and a little fruit. Flavor is roasted malt, slightly sour fruit, and chocolate. Medium body.

rbesg06gt, bottled. pretty black with a brown head. aroma of molasses and freshly-laid asphalt. very thick texture, plenty of chocolate sweetness but a big hit of burnt bitterness, some salted licorice and some light lactic sourness balances it out. great stuff

Only seconds of dark tan head; near black beer. Ureum, roasted grains, slight sourish edge, wet dog, and something perfumey. Liquorice, ureum, sweet and bitterish-roasted; little sourness, but with some definite saltiness. Finishes with lots of coffee. Very full body, tastes even heavier than it is. Titillating MF, despite the absent head. A typical full-bodied porter. A bit too much ureum, but quite good overall. Thanks Jeppe and Mikkel!

Sweet nose with a roast flavour and oily chocolate component. Bitterness seems like british hopping.

To celebrate my 1000th Danish rating, I drink this, which is the highest rated Danish beer I haven’t had - at the moment it is the 6th higest Danish beer. This gives me 4 countries with 1000 ratings or more.

A pitch black beer with a nice very dark brown head. The aroma has strong notes of dark bitter chocolate, combined with notes of oranges, and a bit of hops. The flavor is extremely powerful - quite sweet with very strong notes of dark bitter chocolate, roasted almost burnt malts, caramel, vanilla, wood, cherries, and alcohol, leading to a very bitter end where the chocolate, alcohol, and citrus from the hops lingers around. The mouthfeel is almost like tar. WOW.

Courtesy boboski. Black pour tries to produce a brown layer of foam but falls short. Nose of dark fruits, anise, old wet wood, dirt, burnt bitterness, cocoa powder, smoke. Flavorof dark berries, milk chocolate, old wet wood, burnt bitterness, smoke, more subtle anise. Medium/full body, smooth, viscous. Excellent, top notch porter.
