2019 version poured from a 25cl bottle into a snifter. Very pleasant aroma with decent thickness. Chocolate and light roast. Glad to finally tick this!

Närke Kaggen Stormakts Porter 2019

Yields a night black color with a smaller mohagony colored head.

The aromas lead with ground coffee, honey dipped milk chocolate and matured, spicy wood. There is a leathery quality in this, accompanied by lighter licorice and a note of caramel.

Mouthfeel on this is rich, heavier bodied with a well fitting, lower level of carbonation, which manages to unfold a late effervescence.

Taste offers strong notes of bitter chocolate, roasted espresso beans, dried figs and a well nuanced amount of rich sweet chestnut honey. Reveals an intriguing creaminess then with additional camp fire smoke on top, blending well into the bitter chocolate maltiness in this, together with a lighter note of caramel and mansion dust. Finishes with a lingering herb dryness, blending well into the coffee and chocolate bitterness in this, intensified by the warming, spicy and gnarly oak of the beer.

Fantastic, complex and intense with a great balance to it. This is as good as it gets regarding this style of beer with a beautiful, carefully way of crafting a complex, yet elegant beer.

Had low expectations. But, my gawd! This beer blew me away. Easily the best porter I’ve ever had.

Excellent Porter. One of the best. Roasty, complex, bold. Super challenging to acquire but definitely worth the chase. Got to try High Coast next to it too. Amazing combo!!!

Pours jet black with a small tan head. Intense roast bordering on Smokey. Chocolate. Definitely some bourbon heat along with vanilla infused oak. Quite dry. Heat of the alcohol overwhelms my palate making tough to judge IBUs. Full bodied, long lasting finish.

Bottle, RBESG 2007 in Glasgow, Grand Tasting. Pitch black colour, creamy brown head. Very nice aroma of chocolate and roasted malts, hints of oak. Intensely rich and complex flavour: oaky, vinous, roasty, chocolate, liquorice. An excellent beer, but so is the "ordinary" Stormaktsporter.
