3.6/5  rDev +3.7%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3.5
A- Dirty brown body with a small light brown head which dies out right away to mere carbonation bubbles.

S- Roasted malts and coffee, some smoke, a slight candy sweetness almost like chocolate chips.

T- Light coffee and liquorice. Definitely some saltiness quality with some dark fruits, namely figs, lots of roast.

M- Pretty light and watery for an Imperial, was a turn off for me.

O- Taste was somewhat interesting relative to other porters, with its liquorice and saltiness, not worth picking up if you see it at premium price.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 7.0%. BB date 08.11.2013. Lumpy sediment in the bottle. Cloudy and very dark brown colour, moderate beige head. Pleasant aroma of chocolate, cocoa and mild coffee, hints of vanilla. The flavour is fresh and slightly fruity, fairly dry, again with notes of chocolate / cocoa, hints of vanilla and a whiff of smoke, moderate hops in the finish.

$ 7.47/16.9 oz bottle ($0.441/oz) at State Line Liquors, Elkton, MD
Undated bottle at 42 degrees into a hand washed and dried JK snifter, allowed to warm to 50 degrees. There are a couple of nicks on a dateline – between N and D and 11 and 12 – bottling date, BB date ?
Aroma of roasted malt, hint of licorice
Head small (< one cm, aggressive pour), light brown, very thin and skimpy froth, rapidly diminishing to irregular one to two mm ring and no layer
Lacing - none
Body dark brown/black, opaque.
Flavor – weak of roasted malt, stronger of licorice, no coffee. No hops, no alcohol, no diacetyl.
Palate medium, not quite creamy, nearly flat

Appearance 3.5, Aroma 4, Flavor 3, Palate 3, Overall 3.5

Enjoyed from the bomber in a snifter. This nice porter pours a deep dark muddy brown with a very nice head of light tan foam that subsides to a thick ring, thin layer, and light lacing. Nose of light licorice and coffee dances about subtle smoke, dark cocoa, and dark fruit. Flavors follow the nose with dark cocoa and smoked malts, light black berries in the middle, and light coffee with a touch of anise on the back. Mouth feel is lightly carbonated and coating with a lightly chalky smoked aftertaste but a touch thin. A solid brew from a brewer I am relatively new to.

Cheers

pours very dark brown, not much head. nice aroma of espresso and bitter cocao. similar flavors in the taste. good balance, neither sweet nor dry. bottom has a thick blob of solid slim. ug, the only negative of the beer, but a big turnoff.
