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!

500ml bottle. Pours a near-black color with a relatively small tan head. Allowed to warm up slightly before consuming (not to 50, but closer), as consumed additional aroma and flavor stood out more. Aroma of sweet chocolates, lightly roasted malts, touch of coffee. Flavor is a bold, dark and milk chocolate with light malts flavor, with notes of coffee hidden in the rear. Finish is a Bitter finish, dark chocolates. A really wonderful beer, with a relatively low alcohol content for easy consumption.

25/03 0.5 l bottle my friend brought from Trondheim, fala lipa Dijo! My first Norwegian beer, strange but true. It poured a black body, actually brown dark as hell, with small brown head, maybe the darkest I’ve seen on a beer! Coffee, caramel and some herbal spices dominate the aroma, but alcohol is felt as well. Fine flavor, dark malt shows up as a coffee with a bit of caramel. Slightly alcoholic. More subtle thing are starting to emerge while you drink it, as herbal spices and licorice, but I definitely miss some fruitiness to round it up, at least a little bit. Bitterish around the finish. Fine porter, but I still prefer our Tomislav to this.

Can’t see through this beer, or it’s beige head. Light roasted malts, some chocolate, berries, nuts, and molasses. Very nice. Thick, creamy, and silky smooth. Chocolate, toasted malts, faint dark fruits, some berries, molasses, and nutty. Finishes with little dryness and some bittersweet chocolate. This is one smooth, tasty, damn fine porter. Heavy, but not like many "stouts" that masquerade as porters. I should have bought three more... (Rating #800)
