Almost black beer with beautiful brown head. Aroma is very roasted, some coffee, liquirice and hint of fruits. Flavour is very roasted. After first taste there are also some sweetness, bitterness and liquirice. Palate is sweet and nice to drink. Maybe there are little too much roasted malts but you can find also some other fine nuancees.

Bottled(500ml). -in Pingvinen, Bergen. Bottle costs 79 NOK or app. 11€.
Murky amber coloured, big pale beige head, mild smoked and juniper nose. Very aromatic, quite yeasty (also big yeast sediment) and mild hoppy with notes of smoke and juniper. Not so good as Dark Force is but also excellent brew.

Bottle: Cloudy, muddy copper color with a small beige head. Aroma is reminiscent of a campfire with hints of spices. Flavor is lightly malty and spicey with the smoke playing a central role, but not overwhelming. Thanks Jordan.

Thick, creamy, 3 dimensional mocha heads forms easily over this dark brown brew. Aromas of dark bread, molasses, cookies, and smoke. Lightly sweet flavor, very smooth palate. The Juniper transforms into a floral aftertaste and there is a lightly tart, smoke induced finish.

Bottled. Deep brown colour with mediumsized brown head. Aroma is toffee, malts, slight roast and fruits. Also some mild spicyness. Flavour is leathery, malty, toffeeish and slightly smoked wood also. Quite slimy palate, but otherwise well done brew.

Hazy dark amber color with red shades; the head is really too much (strange). Aroma of English hop. Medium dry mouthfeel, some malt and caramel flavor, quite strong bitterness, later some sweetness comes out too. A bit too much yeast in the end. An English style IPA, just more bitter than the average. Not much aromatic. Pleasant.

Hazy dark amber color. Hoppy aroma, earthy; leafy and fruity later; very nice. Thin (really too much) but smooth mouthfeel, dry caramel flavor and strong bitterness, a bit too astringent. The final is a bit harsh and dry as well.

Bottled (brewed 03/2007, batch #35)
Dark nut brown color, almost opaque color, small brown head. Dark chocolate, burned dark malts and raisins in the nose. Chocolaty, yeasty, some spices (clove?), a bit alcoholic. Similarities to Nøgne Ø Porter, slightly thinner, not so coffeish and more spicey. When this beer warms up, it gets some Old Ale -stylish toffeish notes.
