500ml bottle conditioned: best before Oct 2012, poured into a UK pint sleeve on 1st Aug 2012. Really dark body: deep brown with a tan coloured foaming head that was huge and lasting. Intense aromas of burnt/roasted/toasted malts: these turn into coffee and chocolate flavours in the taste. A hop bitterness is never far away and I found this a complex and interesting Porter.

Fra flaske på DØE festivalen: et snev av kakao i smaken. Ingen karbonering. Et tvers igjennom kjedelig øl.

Cask @ HBF ’11. Rated on 08.04.2011
Aroma has toffee typical to goldings, some hay and roastiness. Flavour has some roastiness, chocolate and caramel. Good and rich real ale.
7+3+7+3+14 = 3.4
50 cl bottle @ home
Quite the same, but salty licorice also occurs and the chocolate is only in the background.
7+4+6+3+13 = 3.3
