750ml Bottle - Dark brown, almost black with a tan head. Coffee, berries, roasted malt and liquorice in the aroma. Roasted and slightly tart taste with notes of plain chocolate, coffee and blackcurrant. Not bad and rather interesting.

(Bottle) Black colour with lasting, frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted, slightly fruity nose with dark fruit, coffee, liquorice, raisins and citrus. Malty, roasted taste with notes of coffee, liquorice, dark fruit, prunes, cherries and a slightly lactic acidity in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness and balanced bitterness. A bit weird with an unexpected sourness, this brewery has done better beers. Quite enjoyable though.

Bottled (backlog). Brown colour with a mediumsized beige head. Aroma is toasted malts, some vegetably notes along with mild herbs and some toffee. Flavour is spices, toasted malts with some mild resin and sourness to it as well. For a porter this was rather strange.

Deep brown color, small beige head. Vegetably, tart aroma with light toastyness. Medium-bodied. Flavor is slightly tart and veggie but has some toasted chocolaty notes. I had 2 bottles, another one was totally infected. This rating is for "better one".

Dobre i bardzo ciekawe piwo. Zaczne od wygladu, czarne metne i jakby przykurzony odcien. Gesta konsystencja, piana rosnie szybko i jest koloru brazowo kremowego. W smaku to juz jakby nie porter. Owszem kawa dominuje i daje energie ale wyczuwa sie dosc mocna kwasowosc, jakby to bylo Wild Ale w typie Rodenbacha. W zasadzie wytrawny finisz pomieszany z kawowo-kwasnym smakiem. Smak nie dla kazdego, zarezerwowane dla wytrawnych piwoszy. Polecam jak najbardziej,

Annorlunda porter. Fruktig doft. Smak av choklad, kaffe, fikon. Lättdrucken, vinös karaktär. Syrlig lätt smak, en aning metallisk. Liten beska med eftersmak av kaffe och bitter choklad. Rund och len. En perfekt sommarporter.
