(Bottle, Bar & Cigar, Oslo, 5 nov 2009. Labeled "Norse Porter") Black colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty, slightly fruity nose with notes of roasted malt, dark fruit, chocolate, raisins and sweet coffee. Malty, roasted taste with dark berries, raisins, cherries, chocolate, dark coffee and cocoa. Mild cocoa bitterness in the finish. More than medium body with some sweetness lingering throughout. Starts with fruit and berries, with chocolate and coffee taking over after a while. Complex and very well balanced. Lovely porter!

Courtesy of Ian ’Harrisoni’ (cheers mate) I had some of this at the Borefts Beer Festival, De Molen Brewery, Bodegraven, Netherlands 30-10-09 Pours black with some beige bubbling, soft bubbles in the mouth, touch of a sour tinge, some coffee. Nice beer but at times came across as a touch thin and watery, but likeable and tasty. A6 A4 F6 P4 Ov13 3.3

Bottle from Vinmonopolet in Grimstad. Norway. Dark brown with a brownish head. The smell was burnt tones with clear elements of chocolate and coffee. I did also find some traces of soy. Norse Porter tastes like chocolate and espresso coffee. A little fruity tones were there too as well as roasted malt. The body was decent and the liquid rather smooth. The bitterness was not too high. After-taste was dry and did last for a while.

The opening of the bottle gave a loud bang. Deep dark brown color, opague. Chocolate, ash and licorice in the aroma. Malty sweet alcoholic flavor with licorice, roast, caramel and a hint of milk chocolate. An upcoming tartness. Good beer, but could be even better, the flavors don’t always fit together.

Pours dark brown with faint hue of purple and decent minute long mocha head. The aroma is mix of milk and dark chocolate, some dark roastiness and burnt molasses. The bold taste is pushed forward by assertive carbonation creating a slightly harsh burnt note to go along with some coffee, burnt molasses and dark chocolate. IT evens out nicely toward the finish creating a pleasing after taste. Very nice flavor that might benefit from a little less carbonation to soften up the slightly harsh start. It ends wonderfully though.
