With clear notes of espresso, dark chocolate and a hint of authentic Icelandic coffee, this Porter is dark and rich, offering a medium body that is robust, yet smooth on the palate and easy to drink. There’s no need to be afraid of the dark anymore.

11.2oz bottle. Brown-black body, thin beige head. Pronounced sweet chocolate and roast malt aroma. Easy and smooth on the palate, really nails the style. Some balancing bitterness, but even more smooth, sweet chocolate. Excellently balanced, well done.

Bottle: Poured a clear black color porter with a nice light brown foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with light dry hints of coffee notes. Taste is also a mix of roasted malt with some light dry coffee notes and some black chocolate notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. This is not a style that usually excited me very much but this example was well brewed.

Smell of coffee, cocoa. Dark brown colour, dark brown head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, licorice, tar in finish. Surprisingly light body for such strong flavours. Bitter, lightly sweet. Soft and wild carbon. Slightly ashy palate.

Bottle. Milk chocolate, coffee, roasted barley malt, and straw aroma. Very dark brown with large brown head. Mildly sweet coffee, chocolate malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Nice body. Very tasty.

Bottle from Firma Bier, BB 30/Mar/2018, large sample. Dark color, medium frothy head. Aroma of lots of roast and loads of dark bread, slight coffee, bit fruity notes, slight lactic even. Roasty in taste, bit fruity bitterness, slight dry coffee bitterness as well. Lots of flavor with all the dark malts and the coffee, not perfectly balanced, but nonetheless very tasty stuff.

Musta olut melko pienellä ja nopeasti katoavalla vaahdolla. Tuoksu paahteisen kahvinen, maltainen, limppuinen ja hieman nahkea. Maku maltainen, limppuinen ja paahteinen. Kahvia hyvin kevyesti. Ehkä aavistus savuisuutta. Suolainen. Keskitäyteläinen, mutta jää ehkä vähän ohueksi kuitenkin rungoltaan. Pehmeä ja limppuinen kokonaisuus.
