Black with thick, cream coloured head. Really smooth and thick oily texture. Some dark, dried fruits. Sweet chocolate and a touch of bitter coffee and tar that linger in the aftertaste. Quite sweet overall for a Porter.

BOTTLE 50 CL. Medium intensity aroma of roasted malts, vanilla sweetness, some fruitiness that does not last long, chocolate and black malts, some salty smokiness? The flavour, on the other hand, is quite bold, well roasted (but not over the top), vanilla sweetness is kept well behind the hop and roast bitterness. Warming and spicy alcohol, but no proper aroma or taste of it. It is pretty much in line with Nogne’s own imperial stout, albeit a little more subdued. Not sure where the rye is behind all this roast. Not min-blowing, but still, very well done.

Bottle. Completely black with a small tan head. The aroma consists of roasted malts, rye bread, caramel, chocolate and a hint of liquorice. This beer is highly sweet, moderately bitter and has a bitter finish.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 3 Oct 2014) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of strong black coffee, cacao, liquorice and dark rye bread. Malty, roasted taste with black coffee, dark chocolate, liquorice, crisp-bread and a generous roasted coffee bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. The rye adds a slight spiciness to this imperial porter. Lots of taste, solid and quite powerful, but still in very good balance. Excellent beer!

Bottle. Black oily beer, came slowly out of the bottle, beautiful. Smooth aroma of cacao, malt and vanilla. Taste is soft and velvet, with notes of cacao, some bitter licorice, rye and a coffee finish. Oily mouthfeel, thick body. Nice dry and bitter aftertaste. Very good.
