From the airport: Pours black with a light brown head. Aroma is dark roast coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is very robust, in that robust porter way. Bitter and full of coffee. This is not a sipping beer. Pretty good.

330m bottle provided by djoeye. Lacing rings down the glass from a fair white head. Yellow-gold coloured body. Rather inviting aroma of grassy hops with a citric touch. Mixed taste of citrus, pale malts and hay. Harsh bitter ending. Soft carbonated. Food friendly. Decent pilsener (Tromsø 08.03.2015).
