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!

50 cL bottle. Pours black with a dense light brown head. Roasted malt and chocolate aroma. Promise of a roasted and hops bitter flavour. Flavour is mild tar, light smoked, roasted malt and smooth chocolate following. Very smooth with liqourice added along the way. Light roasted bitterness following into a chocolate and roasted malt bitter finish. Very nice. One of the pre-RB beers I finally get to rate. Perfect for boiling vegetables in the owen, carrots for instance. Seriously!

16.9oz bottle. On point stuff. The aroma is spot on, chocolate and roasted malt scents all the way. Deep opaque black color. The malt character just shines with this beer. Super well-balanced and full bodied porter, while remaining completely drinkable. Chewy and big, one of the best porters out there.

500ml Bottle- Black in colour with a tan head. Liquorice and coffee featuring in the mildly alcoholic aroma. Aniseed and liquorice in the taste which is balanced with coffee and a very slight sour hint to the finish. Not bad at all.

Bottle from Marcus - Thanks! Interesting aromas of toasted malt, chocolate, reddish fruits, and perhaps a bit of coffee. Opaque brown/black color with a beige/tan head that’s respectable. Medium body with smooth frothy carbonation. Flavors are sharp burnt malt, coffee, chocolate, hop bitter and more. The finish is dry, and a bit muddy as the flavors intermingle. Decent amount of burnt toast and bitter. Really good to drink.

Bottle: Dark brown pour with a medium sized tan head. Light lacing. Aroma is roasty and chocolates, also a light coffee presence. Flavor is more roasty and coffee oriented with chocolate complimenting in the background. Hints of bitters in the tail. Nice and creamy.

From a trade with oh6gdx, thanks Patrik.
Bottled(500ml). -Black coloured, cappucino brown head, chicory chocolate nose. Also, strong chicory and chocolate taste with notes of smoke. Rather bitter finish. Quite one-dimensional porter.

Bottle (batch no.262) shared with ozujsko, received in a trade with oh6gdx. Opaque black colour, cappuclino like tan head that went away slowly. The nose is almost all chicory with a hint of chocolate, and the taste isn’t far off; strong chicory, a weak note of chocolate, a touch of alcohol. Not extremely complex but still a nice porter.
