Opaque, dark brown pour with a thick and foamy dark tan head, nice coffee and nutty nose; bitter chocolate and nuts continue into the flavor. Finish is dry and alcoholic. Very good. tarjei (1753), Bryne, Norway

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | Mar 24, 2008 Pours dark with a small foamy head, sort of a sweet smell. Tastes better than it smells with tastes of biscuit and toffee and hints of a smokey flavor. Light on the palate, thought a bit watery for my tastes as far as a porter goes. Not a bad beer.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 20, 2008 Pours nearly black with a one-finger tan head. The aroma is light, slightly sweet malt in the nose. The flavor is complex, a wonderfully creamy roastiness with just a bit of sourness in the finish. The finish lasts in complex layers. Nice, nice beer.
