Oct 13, 2009 Bottle Pours a good deep brown with a bubbly tan head which leaves quickly then holds its own a top the beer. Produces some good lacing. Has a good aroma of roast, coffee, alcohol, caramel, and chocolate. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is great, Very robust and hearty. I had this on a cool fall night and was the perfect beer for the season. Blended well. You can taste all the aromas. Has a good oily texture. This one is full bodied. The finish is excellent and the aftertaste is great. This is an awesome beer.

Oct 12, 2009 tried this one at langerbroen, poured a nice brown head which faded but could be easily roused. (maybe would of hung around a bit longer if poured a bit different) smell was great lots of sweet roasted smells and the flavor was roast coffee and licorice and alcohol. the mouth feel was great, oily. would by it again but not sure if i could drink more than a few. pretty heavy on the palate.

Oct 3, 2009 Pitch black in color with a two finger head. Aromas of heavy roast, burnt sugar, chocolate, and slight smoke. Taste is full bodied, dark chocolate, roasted malts, slightly bitter, with a slightly less than long finish. A fantastic porter.

Sep 16, 2009 Beautiful opaque goodness. Somewhat disappointing brown head though, and I’m fairly certain it’s not the glassware.
This beer is all about the nose - exotic roasty chocolate notes that are tough to describe. Very potent, and in a good way. Reminds me of easter bunny dark chocolates from childhood.
A medium body coats the palate nicely. It has a oily character that is pleasing, with roasted malt, chocolate, and carbonation striking later in the taste impression.
Finish has some toffee and a cocoa powder dryness.

Sep 15, 2009 really nice head, lacing, off brown, just like porter should have the body is black. Aroma is of roasted and burned malts. stoutish coffie aroma without caramel sweetness, (ok, maybe some), taste is very dry and bitter, smoked, dense taste, after first dry and smoked sips it goes more smoothly but still every tate you feel the strong smoke (cigarette, cigar smoke), smells factory hehe

Sep 14, 2009 Really solid beer that has all the heavy roast that you could ask for with the smoky bittersweet chocolate malts. A wee bit to bitter in the finish for my liking but the mouthfeel is luxurious and coating. Some greatness, some not-so- greatness. Thanks Olfabrikken. 2009 22 oz.

Sep 14, 2009 I’ve had this one in bottle ( 2005 ) as well as in can. The character is basically the same, but the cans have a sweeter, more sugary approach in taste and (correspondingly) more of a sticky palate. There might be other differences, but that might also be due to aging of the bottled version.
The aroma is roasted and contains liquorish and coffee. The taste is of butter, coffee, liquorish, sugar and soil. Finish is sweet and heavily roasted. Easily the best porter I’ve had. I’ts amazing how available and cheap it is in Denmark. The cans should probably be consumed rather quickly though - those left in my cellar for a couple of months went bad.
