Feb 11, 2009 My new Favorite! Very, very dark with a strong chocolate smell. It tastes of coffee with an earthy taste. Almost like roasted coffee beans. I didn’t taste licorice like the bottle describes.

Feb 4, 2009 22 oz bottle purchased from Chuck’s Liquor in Bowling Green. Poured a dark black color with a one finger brown head. The aroma was roasted malt, molasses and a huge alcohol note. The flavor contained roasted malt, bitter chocolate, coffee and a good bit of warming alcohol for a beer that is really not that high in ABV. This was a great brew, but it wasn’t all I had hoped for.

Feb 3, 2009 Ølfabrikken Porter pours up with a modest carbonation that creates a small tawnish-brown colored head that sits briefly atop the opaque deep dark brown-black body. The heavily roasted aroma is dominated by a big chocolate malt presence and some mild fruitiness (black cherry, mulberry, plum). Background notes of black malt, arabica beans, earthy hops, and woodsy licorice root aid the overall complexity. These interplay nicely as the beer warms in hand and allows for some intoxicating alcohol vapors to dance at the rim. Nice! All that roastiness is definitely carried over to the flavor that starts off rather bold, but eventually mellows to show espresso coffee overtones, toasted caramel, and smooth bitter chocolate undertones. The acidic, bittersweet finish is slightly smoky with a subtle warmth. This medium-full bodied Baltic Porter is a touch oily and finishes heavy. Enjoy with some traditional smoked mackeral, creamy chive havarti, and slices of buttered rye bread. Here’s to Christian Anderson and his pioneering Ølfabrikken brewery.

Jan 28, 2009 2007(?) bottle. Black body with dark brown edges topped by a medium-sized brown head that disappears completely. Nose of molasses, roast, and some alcohol. Dark chocolate, cocoa, espresso, residual sugar, and bitterness hit the mouth. The body is medium full and smooth with low carbonation. Finishes with roast and some mild bitterness. Powerful but not overwhelming. Really nice.

Jan 26, 2009 2008 bottle from City Beer Store. These guys can really "fabrik" some "Øl" if you know what I mean. Pours dark brown with a one-finger light copper head. Aroma is roastiness, coffee, and chocolate. Flavor is coffee, chocolate, smoke, licorice, dark fruits, and malty sweetness. Oily, full mouthfeel. A very complex porter, probably the best I have ever tasted.
