Flaske fra Gulating Vestkanten, delt med Håkon og Børge: klar gylden med kort, hvitt skum. Mild aroma og smak av citrus, gress og urter. Lett, tørr bitterhet i den korte ettersmaken. Balansert og lettdrikkelig, men for anonym til en apa å være.

50cl bottle from Gulating ølutsalg, Sandefjord. Pours black with a huge, bubbely, beige head, A slow gusher, but seems to be fine. Roasty aroma with dark fruits, some dark chocolate, earhty notes and hints of licorice and dark berries. Moderate to medium sweet and fairly flavourful with a mild, but balanced bitterness. Carbonation a bit on the lively side. Fairly enjoyable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Porter on 01 Oct 2016 at 21:05 - Score: 6

Took a long time to open, because it really wanted to rush out of the bottle and make a fountain. Huge coarseish beige head. Opaque black body. Roasty earthy aroma with minty notes. Dry-acidic roasty earthy taste with mealy notes. Mid-bodied. Fizzy, mealy mouthfeel. Dry sooty burnt aftertaste with coffee and earth notes. Well. That’s not great. Flat and uninspired, and too dry. I think I’ll finish the bottle, though. (0.5l bottle, from Gulating Strømmen. Batch #16.)

500ml bottle, batch 19, bought at Gulating Ølutsalg, Trondheim. A stable beige head to a deep dark coloured body with a ruby glint. Clingy lacing. Roasted, almost burnt, aroma of dark malts, hints of black chocolate and caramel. Dark malty flavours of chocolate, dark dough and caramel followed by a roasted bitter finish. Medium bodied. Pretty nice (hotel room, 04.08.2016).

Bottle. It pours a big, light beige colored head over a more or less black body. Not much lacing going on. The aroma is dominated by coffee and roasted malts, some hints of dark chocolate and tar joins in. No hops detected. There’s a rather volatile touch of yeast in the far back. Roasted flavor too, with coffee, some chocolate and a sweetish touch reminiscent of licorice. Some tar and charcoal notes. It’s quite effervescent on the palate, medium to full-bodied and mostly on the dry side. Long roasted finish with notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar, coffee and a vague hint of licorice. Decent bitterness. It’s a quite rough porter, but letting it warm up a little in the glass even out some of the edges and it becomes smoother. And it also helps that some of the carbonation leaves the glass. Overall, it’s a decent beer that I’m sure will improve as the brewery gains experience. 160627

Bottle. An unclear orange-brown beer with a small, dense, beige head. The aroma is lightly roasted and toffee-ish with nutty notes and some resins, dark chocolate and coffee. Yeast notes too. It’s medium bodied and pleasantly carbonated, semi-dry and decently bitter. Roasted malts, nuts, caramel and dark bread in the flavor, some piney hope and chocolate lurking in the back. Even some chalky yeast, especially towards the end, which is mostly roasted and caramel-ish. Overall, it’s a decent beer, but it’s too much on the yeasty side, and I prefer my brown ales more roasted and darker. 160620
