Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours dark brown with thin mocha head. The aroma is musty dark fruitiness, some roasty malts mixed with chocolate, molasses and alcohol heat. The taste is rich roasted and toasted malts moving toward burnt malts. Nice. It gets mildly hoppy followed by chocolate malts and a hint of dark sweet dark fruitiness. Nice stout like brew. I get zero wood notes.

courtesy of goodzoid10. A really different approach to a porter. Pours black with a frothy brown head. Aroma reminded me a lot of banana with moderate hops. Some chocolate notes. Taste fruity with spices and roasted malts. Finish of coffee and very faint oak with little vanilla and a very light hoppy finish.

Bottle: Poured an hazy deep amber/copper color ale with a medium size fomay head with good retention with some good lacing. Aroma of sweet barley malt with very subtle hints of toffee and bourbon. Taste is a mix between some sweet barley malt with some notes of toffee. Vanilla and bourbon notes are very difficult to notice. Full body with good carbonation and no alcohol was discernable. Not as compelx as I would have liked it to be but very good nonetheless.

Golden color with a touch of orange. Big hop aroma, grass, hay, citrus, grapefruit, light golden malt, maybe some wheat? Flavor: citrus, grass, hay, hops. Light but complex malts, pine. Finish is dry, fruity, with citrus hops and grass. Very light, but wonderfully flavorful and refreshing beer.

22oz bottle brought back from Portland, OR. Thick, glowing orange brown color. Nice lasting quarter inch head. Seawater and hop aroma. The taste is full and delicious. Earthy hops and balanced maltiness perfectly balance themselves. Some hop syrup tastes, with a subdued dry, sandy mouthfeel. This is a World Class IIPA.

Tasting at Papsoe
Hazy red-dark amber color; small creamy head. Creamy (milky) caramel aroma, nice. Strong caramel flavor, some chocolate malt, strong bitterness, roasted nuts character, some hop resins but less American-type hopping than usual, which makes of it an original one, at least, since it´s not the best. Strong ending bitterness.

Bottle thanks to mar. Pours with a dark brown head and a dark brown body. Aroma of mocha, alcohol, dark fruits, and roasted barely. Taste is initially banana esters, followed by a ton of roast, wood, wine spiciness (Pinot). Lightly carbonated, syrupy and a bit warming.

Bottle: Amber pour with a medium sized beige head. Sticky bits of lacing. Sweet and citrus in the nose with some florals. Tastes a bit sweet, but floral hop based. Somewhat meddled with a bit of rye? Good, but I’m not quite sure about this overall...
