Ølfabrikken Porter

Brewed by Bryggeriet Ølfabrikken (Gourmetbryggeriet)
Style: Porter
Roskilde, Denmark

Bottle- Completely black body, tan head. Nose of dark roasted malts and flavors. Blody is incredible depth of roasted to dark fruit flavors. Hot chocolate and dark chocolate and burnt coffee grounds, etc. Very dry and slightly acidic finish. Very nice.

Pours jet black into the snifter with a half inch of dark tan head. The head calmed down quickly but returned after a quick swirl. There was minimal lacing if any. The scent was of roasted malt, oatmeal, nuts and some brown sugar. Very thick and inky feel on the palate with malt, chocoate and roasted barley dominating. Perfect coating feeling on the palate. This sets the standard for other porters to live up to.

bottle. pours a dark black with a 1/4" tan head. aromas of coffee, chocolate and roasted malts. an absolute wonder. this is the best porter i’ve ever had by far.... would buy again and again. medium to thick body, low carbonation, sweet, chocolate, and caramel flavors on the palate. nice strong finish that fills your mouth with chocolate and coffee flavors that last... awesome beer.

The aroma is malty and burned it looks dark. The flavor is of too much coffee, although it gets better all the time - it also has a nice flavor of laqurice.

Bottle from St Albans Fest, purchased as to not touch my personal stash... Ok, this rate’s going out to everyone that’s had a Wendy’s Frosty and dipped their fries in it...I’ve got 3/4 a glass left after fighting my way home, mug in hand, with half of London eyeing me for a sip...Had 2 get involved when a cabbie tried 2 take advantage of some girls and almost had em round afterwards, phew!.. Ok, the beer...Deep mahogany, or so it seemed in the poorly lit carriage, with a tan head. Coffee and cocoa in the nose with some caramel and blackcurrant hints. Sweet malts, coffee, caramel and baking chocolate with dark fruit and a mint choc chip notes. Powdery in the mouth with some bitter hop in the finish. I will always remember this trip home...Classic!
Re-rate - Dark as a stout, with a thick, lasting tan head and malty lacing left behind. Can smell it although I haven’t sipped it yet, 10 for aroma at least...Rich cocoa and coffee in the nose with mint choc chip, malt ’n’ yeast notes. Chocolate, coffee, caramel, liquorice and chicory with a slightly bitter hop bite in the end...

Mindst holdbar til: 200709 ...looks like I opened it right on time. Pours a rich, dense motor oil. Appears dark brown, with auburn toned, copper edges. A thick, 2 finger dark tan head slowly fades into a mild cap and a hefty collar. Scattered streaks and spots of lacing sticks around before slowly drooping down into the outer ring of the brew. Smell is of roasted nuts, toasted grains, caramel, vanilla, dark chocolate, cocoa nibs, pencil shavings, and a touch of freshly ground coffee. Taste is of the mentioned aromas in a beautifully mixed flavor with notes of black grapes and notes of ripe guava. Yes, sir! Mouthfeel is full bodied, sugary, rich, and boozy with sweetness hitting up front that draws into a chewy, mildly earthy, woodsy bitterness with a boozy bite.

9/16/07 500ml, AJ’s Glendale, best by 7/20/09. Black opaque with brown head and good lacing. Aroma of dark chocolates with some roasted malt, smoke and some Cherry aroma apparent. Creamy nice body. Cherry taste up front followed by a hop bitterness then ending with a roasted malt bitterness. I wonder how this will age.

Bottle@GBBF 2007. Dark beer with a coffee coloured head. The aroma is lightly dry and malty and the flavour is very dark, bitter, syrupy and vinous. Overall a reasonable fortified porter.
