Bottle from Gulating. Looks great in the glass, close to black body under a big, stable, foamy beige head. A bit weak in aroma, malt driven, dark, mild roasted, hint of dry fruit, dark chocolate, and liquorices. Taste is medium sweet, smooth, dark roasted malt, dark chocolate, cocoa powder, hint of dry fruit and maybe traces of liquorices. Balanced bitterness. Medium to thin bodied with same aftertaste. Not a pastry bomb, but a decent, rather classic London porter. As expected quite light in body with a nice, refreshing, straight forward dark malt flavour. Nice to see some of the honest, old clasics once in a while.

Håndverkeren 121121. Black color with a beige head. Aroma is cocoa, roasted malt, chocolate. Flavor is cocoa, roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, dried fruits, pine. OK beer.

Bottle, at Håndverkeren. A dark brown, quite still beer with a minimal sized beige head. The aroma is mostly roasted, almost burnt, with dark chocolate and cocoa, with a hint of dark dried fruit. Smooth and medium bodied with a very low carbonation level. Roasted malts, cocoa and dark chocolate in the flavor, followed by sine dark dried fruits and a hint of bitterness. Medium length finish. Easy drinkable, but too low of carbonation and in general suffering from the ABV. 211119
