Reviewed from notes.
Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown in the pour and more of a pure black color in the glass with a two and a half fingers of tan foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: cocoa nibs, black licorice, dark fruits, sweet coffee, roasted coffee tones, dark chocolate
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a semi-sweet to roasty, subtle spice and light toasty quality, mild finish of dark fruits, cocoa nibs and black licorice
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper, fair smoothness on the tongue with a low roasty harshness
Overall: a very nicely done English porter I would have again.

Can @ home. Black body under a nice, big, creamy beige head. Clean aroma of roasted malt with a hint of chocolate. Taste is super smooth, soft, quite sweet, roasted dark malt, chocolate malt, balanced bitterness and a hint of sweet coffee. Fine balanced body with pleasant aftertaste. A really nice, sweet, smooth porter, almost too smooth but very nice indeed. A clean and honest beer with maximum taste from just basic ingredients.

0,44 boks fra VPV, hjemme en søndagskveld: vakker mørkerød mahogny og fint skum som varer. Mørke bær, svisker , mørke karamellsjokolader, urter, havrekjeks, kaffe, ristede nøtter og et forsiktig streif av røykmalt. Fin granbaraktig bitterhet i den tørre avslutningen, som også preges av tydelig mersmak.
