Style: Porter
Roskilde, Denmark

Thanks to sk8viking for this excellent beer. Roasty, sweet, complex, wow. What a great porter. If they only made a few hundred bottles, they need to make more

Sweet label. I smell cherry wood at first. The nose is complex, with light tar, berries, scotch barrel, port wine, hops from eastern Europe. Also notes of chocolate, chocolate malts, cherries, figs and light roastiness. Rousing the head with a little swirl lets forth a light and pleasantly blended alcohol and tobacco aroma, somebody call the ATF. The flavor! Huge blueberries, lesser cherries, light alcoholic bite. The berry taste is monstrous, and oh so wonderful, it takes me a while to move past it. Just an intoxicatingly delicious beer. Big medium-sweet chocolates find their way into the mix. The palate is perfectly laid out before me, never too sweet or dry, full bodied and luscious. Finishes with mild roasted malt and lingering blueberry pancake batter. Awesome. I need a keg of this, pronto.

Rerate: Flavor couldn’t satisfy my palate any further. 3rd time is a charm.

black with a light brown head. Licorice and alcohol nose with some chocolate. Sticky. Roasty alcoholic butterscotch chocolate pudding. Very bitter lingering finish. 3 6 6 4 14

This is the last beer I remember from the Milwaukee 06 YEAH VERY dark borwn color, brown head. The aroma is like a cup of hot chocolate with coffee and vanilla added. Drining this is THICK a ton of roasted malts dominate the beer. Wow, guess what my next homebrew adventure will be.

Pours really dark, no powerfull smell, but more in the taste, all the nice flavour that should be there, strong and long bitterness, some sweetness.

(Bottle) Pours a black body with a moderate brown head. Aroma of roasted malt and rich chocolate. Flavor of a rich chocolate dessert. Thick body with a bitter coffee finish.

Bottled at the Milwaukee YeHA thanks to Matt! Poured a very deep brown with a short dusting and ring of medium brown head. Nose was of burnt dark chocolate, an array of grainy darker fruits, and accents of licorice and dark spices. Flavor had lots of rich dark chocolate and fruits with a bit of grainy alcohol feel behind it.. more burnt chocolate rides through the warm finish. A bit sticky on the palate with rich chocolate malt. Very good, but not exceptional.

Opaque and distantly chocolate-brown in color with galaxy swirls lovingly lining the head. Cardamom and cola come out of the aromatic gate with a dole of mocha fudge and cooled hot chocolate. A hint of coriander rolled in caramel-stewed oats give a sweetened, wholesome dimension to the flavor bridge. Abundant roasted barley and burnt oat flakes move uniformly with the full-flavored stream. Gentle carbonation lets the bitters do the work; all the while, fudge cake fills in the already well-staffed mocha platter assortment. Broiled caramel is barely recognizable from the scorching it receives. Melting spoonfuls of dark chocolate are accentuated by a starkly bitter finish.
