330ml can from Vinmonopolet Langnes. Dissipating fawn-coloured head. Deep dark brown body, clingy lacing. Nicely roasted mid-sweet malty aroma, carefully smoked. Pleasing taste profile of dark malts, prunes, dark bread and ash. Roasted mid-sweet malt-driven tail. Oily texture. Medium to full bodied. Enjoying. (Tromsø 16.03.2019).

Fra fat i baren på Fleischers hotell, Voss, five gentlemen gone beer hunting: brunsvart med højt, beige skum som varer. Deilig porteraroma (kaffe og solbær) med et delikat snev av kreosot og røyk/aske. Rund, fyldig og behagelig smak, myk og velbalansert. Godt avstemt bitterhet med fin bærfriskhet i avslutningen.

On tap at Café Sara, Oslo. Looks pretty black to me. A small beige head is present on top. Moderate roasty and mild smoky aroma with dark chocolate, dark fruits and hints of coffee. Moderate sweet with nice roasty flavours, a hint of acidity and a somewhat dry finish. Tasty and easy drinking.

On tap at Bergen Ølfestival. It’s a very dark brown beer topped by a dense, dark beige head of finger-thick size. Some curtains left. Roasted malts, chocolate notes, some coffee, hints of bonfire and citrusy hops in the aroma. The flavor could be a bit more pronounced, but what is there is pleasant, with chocolate and coffee joining the hoppy fruityness in the back and the roasted malts up front. A bit low on bitterness too perhaps. Full body and a tad too much carbonation, quite smooth though. Lasting finish with some licorice and charcoal notes. A fine smoked porter, perhaps a bit forgettable. 140905
