Bottle, 22oz. A black one, topped by a finger-thick, dark brown head. Roasted, meaty nose with some molasses. Full body, quite sweetish and warming. Lots of flavor, but too much in a way. Roasted, meaty and molasses-like, with some coffee. Well, a nice beer it is, but it’s too one dimensional in my book. Lacking big time on drinkability, and it’s also not my choice of beer to enjoy with a good book or something. But far from bad. 110820

22 fl oz bottle. Pours pitch black with no lasting head. Aroma is dark roasted malt, liqourice and dark chocolate. Almost burned. Bold, dark, bitter, hardroasted, liqourice and deep dark chocolate. Rather dry, bitter and hard roasted into a dry and dense malt finish. A bit too much for my liking.

Blind tasting at sk8vikings porter / stout tasting, beer no 1. Pours deep brown with light brown head, bobbly. Dark chocolate and underlying liqourice aroma. Full bodied. Perfectly balanced chocolate and liqourice flavour. Soft yet warming finish. Very nice, somewhat two component brew (chocolate and liqourice).
