This beer is one of a kind! Four different malted barleys combine to create a distinctive, full-bodied beer with a roasted nuttiness, uniquely enhanced by a hint of hazelnuts. Smooth and creamy with the nose of the Williamette hop, this porter is a beer style unto itself.

12 fl oz bottle, courtesy of joergen. Pours dark brown to black with an almost fully gone head. Solid butterish and nutty aroma with a mild roasted note. Sweet malty and slight butterish flavoured with a light vanilla note. Clearly towards nougart. Light bitterness into the finish.

Chestnut brown. The aroma is nutty but artificial with some cheap coffee roastiness. The roast dominates the palate, though there are also some chocolate accents and light nuttiness. More bitter, balanced that I had expected. Thin body, however, still gives the impression of cheap coffee with that revolting hazelnut syrup in it.

Tap @ OTH. 5.8% abv listed. Pours light black with brownish head. Aroma is roasted, coffee. Taste is roasted, coffee malts, leaving a little espresso / nutty aftertaste, light dark fruit notes. Light hoppy notes. Updating this one 3-5-2009. Bottle, and the aroma of hazelnut is so much more present than what I got in the tap version, artificial but drinkable. Simple, but tasty, score is the same.

12 oz bottle...Dark brown with a tan head that leaves quite quick..distinct hazelnut aroma...watery body with an infused hazelnut flavor...not much to it...a little malt and hazelnut is all I get in the nose, and even if it is just added, it smells nice...unbalanced water vs. beer levels...no complexity, just hazelnut, but good flavor never the less..also added sour aromas as it sits for a minute and sour in the finish

On Cask at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours up deep dark brown with infra red edges and firm lasting tan head. The aroma is mild with roastiness, faint caramel, faint burnt malts and a touch of oxidation. The taste is similar with roasted to burnt malts, mild oxidation and mild chocolate malt goodness. The finish the beer becomes toastier and roasty. Nice roasty offering. A bit on the bold side for a Porter which is to my liking.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm, 14 April 2008) Dark brown colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty nose with hazelnuts and chocolate. Malty, nutty taste with notes of hazelnuts, chocolate and a decent cocoa bitterness in the finish. Not really complex but the nicely balanced hazelnut touch makes it quite enjoyable.

Small light brown head fades quickly. Deep dark red barely translucent body. Sweetish sugary licorice aroma with no resistance. Deep dryish licorice and roasty caramel taste. Watery mouthfeel. No real aftertaste. Kind of boring and one-dimensional. (0.355l bottle at Oliver Twist.)
