Courtesy of Degarth. Pours deep dark brown with mocha head. The mild aroma is chocolate malts, mild roasted malts and faint fruitiness. The taste is nice and roasty with roasted malts and chocolate malts that run straight into burnt and nearly ashy malts. The way the flavor grows into highly roasted malts and burnt malts is pleasing. More chocolate malts and faint fruity esters emerge into the finish. Ymmy.

65cl bottle from Vinmonopolet, Vika. Dark, almost black with a light brown head. Aroma of lightly roasted malt, fruits and chocolate with hints of caramel and berries. Malty and slightly chocolaty without beeing too sweet. Very well balanced. Soft and silky and very nice!

650 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 6.2%. Black colour, large to moderate brown head. Nice aroma of mildly roasted malts and caramel malts, notes of coffee, caramel, chocolate and vanilla. Silky smooth mouthfeel and flavour, like the name makes you anticipate, The flavour has the same elements as the aroma, with just the right sweetness, and sufficient hops in the finish. Very enjoyable and easy drinking.

I like Hoppin Frog, they have some great beers. So I was a little disappointed with this. Very little head or cling. Roasted malt, milk chocolate, vanilla and wood flavour. Aroma is similar but much weaker. Almost full mouthfeel. Still scores ok despite me expecting better.

Slightly murky near-black pour, super dark brown, tight tan head, great lacing. Roasted malt aroma, light molasses and caramel, very light java and cocoa, earthy hops. Mouthfeel is smooth and almost creamy. Nice rich roasted grains flavor, lightly sweetened by caramel and very light molasses and brown sugar, smooth - almost as big as a lot of stouts - light earthy hops to offset all of those toasted malts. Great porter - very Worthy.

Jet blackness in color. A small foamy textured, off white head rises briefly above. Settles into a medium sized ringlet and light dusting of film. Chocolate and coffee bean. Bitter up front. Sweet malt in the aftertaste. Smooth light-medium body.

Pours a nice opaque warm sable with a fairly thick tan head that is more like the head of cola since it fizzes a lot and dissipates more quickly than most beer heads. Aroma is strong and smoky with hints of quality coffee and brown sugar. Flavor is like fine roast coffee with a touch of molasses and just a hint of hops. Texture is fizzy and lively, a teensy thin but otherwise quite good.

Dark brown in color with a collapsing tan head and heavy, spotty lacing. Rich, malty aroma with accents of brown sugar, caramel, chocolate and coffee. Good earthy flavor that is malt driven. Roasted nuts and crunchy toast with a hint of cocoa and toffee. Smooth and creamy, drinks really nice. Well made porter.
