Commercial Description:
Editor’s note: Recent canned batches of this have been brewed at Bryggeriet S.C. Fuglsang and Harboe.
The first batch of this beer destined for export to the US market was brewed at Nøgne Ø in Grimstad, Norway in 2006. Later batches have been brewed at Ølfabrikken.
Introduced at ’Fynske Øldage’ 2005.

A dark and rich porter inspired by the Baltic porters traditionally made in Scandinavia. Roasted without being burned or bitter, with the flavor dominated by dried fruits and vinous notes. High amounts of residual sugars and a fruity aroma makes this beer the perfect companion for chocolate desserts, if served lightly chilled. Brewed on Maris Otter ale malt, British Brown Malt, chocolate malt, roasted barley, two types of caramel malt and brown sugar. Unpasteurized and unfiltered like all our beers of course.

Bottle - Pours black with a huge creamy head. There’s real light roastiness on the nose, some mild chocolate and a touch of sourness. Honestly I expected a little more on the nose. It’s pleasant enough, but I expected trumpets and singing. Taste was more of the same--it’s a bit milky with medium roast, real bitter coffee, and a little whiskey burn that lingers a bit too long and distracts. It’s smooth as hell, but overall a bit underwhelming given it’s reputation. I want trumpets!

Fantastic beer! Bottle dated 2005. Pours black with tan head. Roasted coffee malts, nicely smokey, dried fruit, body is oily. Great beer, too bad the new version is not the same.

Nice inky black pour with a perfect dense brown head that thins quickly in an English pint. The aroma of this brew is amazing, and really prepares you for the great taste. Loads of coffee and toffee fill the nose, with a subtle cocoa underneath. Initial flavors are roasted almonds, coffee (not espresso, no overroasting here), and sweetness from the brown sugar. As it opens up, vanilla begins to appear along with a tart fruit, maybe plums? Mouthfeel is consistent with porter, not nearly as heavy as the big stouts. There’s a tiny touch of alcohol, but it’s barely noticeable amidst all the other great flavors.

Pours a brown black with thin tan head, minimal lacing, fair amount of residue on sides of glass changing the color briefly before receding down. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, dried fruit, caramel, molasses, slight coffee, and slight hops. Flavor matches well and comes together so nicely to provide a super smooth, wonderful tasting porter that isn’t super heavy. What a great brew!
