No other Norwegian beer has won more international prizes than our Porter. We always include it in our tastings and it has turned many a ”lager lover” on to craft beer. It has a silky smooth mouthfeel with hints of coffee and chocholate. Good with classic stews, but mindblowing with dark chocolate!

Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: black color with a finger's worth of eggshell white foamy head that slid off and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: rich robust dark malts, dark bread, that "cola" smell I always smell with Nogne beers, coffee beans, some earthiness and touch of cocoa powder
Flavor: takes the prior mentioned aromas to wrap up sweetly, robustly roasty, and semi-toasty, mild aftertaste of the Nogne "cola" and roasty coffee beany character
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat a sipper, good carb, semi-smooth, finishes clean and semi-sweetly toasty-like
Overall: I'd say it's a good robust porter and I would have again.

Bottle pours rich black with tan head that quickly reduces to lace. Coffee and chocolate are present in the aroma and flavor with a creamy mouthfeel and slightly bitter finish. Excellent porter. Tasted at Prima Fila Restaurant, Oslo, Norway

Big roasty nose, coffee, soy, and some licorice. Quite hoppy, pine notes, and a very dry bitter espresso finish. A little too hoppy for a porter in my opinion, but its pretty good.
