This small brewery can’t produce a decent light beer, but they kill it with their stouts and porters. This is a pure black, sweet smelling porter that’s a great mix of coffee, oatmeal, and milk. It’s not very thick, but then again its a porter. Would definitely purchase again.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, roasted malt, milk, and vanilla, as well as lighter notes of wood. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of roasted malt, coffee, and alcohol, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

12oz bottle brought back from Wisconsin. I had assumed this was going to be a "big" beer, but at 4.5% a pleasant surprise it is. Big and bold in flavor, with a mild smooth finish. Sweet cocoa aroma. Opaque black-brown color with a rusty orange quickly diminished head. Wow. The chocolate and roasted malts come through so perfectly. This is one of the best Porters I’ve had, a style I am quite fond of.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Hazy reddish brown with a frothy and lively light brown head. Aroma of hard roasted malt and vanilla. Medium body with sweetish, hard roasted malt, some coffee and a malt bitter finish. The lively head made me fear the worst, but this brew came out rather nicely. 130608

Bottle (trade with JK). An initial mocha coffee aroma that get more and more buttery as it warms - reminds me of a chocolate croissant. Dark black-brown color with film of a head. Flavor initially a bland cream followed by a caramel corn/Cracker Jack flavor. Low carbonation and mild hops finish. Description very accurate - would be a nice breakfast beer.

Very carbonated black pour, with a foamy tan head that fills half the glass, then disappears completely, leaving a beer that looks like a glass of cola - highly smokey aroma, with copious amounts of anise, molassas and cocoa - dry and smokey, with a foamy, somewhat thin mouthfeel - caramel sweetness far in the back - a slight lactic quality, with some sourness hanging around near the finish - a unique porter, but nothing special.
