1984 is a baltic porter brewed with The Garden Brewery. The name is a tribute to a great literary work and is obviously in no way a comment on how hard it is for Norwegian breweries to communicate online.

200ml draught at Ølhallen. Deep black body, filmy layer leaving upper part lacing on the glass. Inviting aromas of roasted grainy chocolate. Well blended flavours of caramel, black chocolate, and liquorice offset by traces of dark fruits. Roasted bitter ending warming down the swallow. Full bodied. Lingering sipper qualities.

Can, at the brewpub. A bit gushy, producing a creamy two finger light tan head over a black body. Nice curtains. The aroma has alcohol, roasted malts, oats, coffee, some dark chocolate and hints of dark dried fruits and nuts. It's full bodied, warming and softly carbonated. Some roasted malts kind of bitterness. Roasted malts, cocoa hints, some dark chocolate, licorice and oats in the flavor, with coffee bitterness. Lasting finish. A bit warming and intense, but sure nice. 230516
