RBESG 2006 Grand Tasting. ABV was 9.0%. Pitch black colour, low tan head. Lovely vinous oaky aroma with raisins and roasty notes. Roasty flavour with coffee and oaky (fortified wine) notes. Simply an excellent beer from my favourite Swedish brewery.

Got to share this with jzeilinger after tacosandbeer sent him a bottle. I was really really stoked to finally try a Närke after all these years. So a personal thank you to both mentioned above for the generosity. Pours dark black as expected, nice brown head that faded a bit. Smelled roasty, bit more stout-like than a porter like the label says. Taste had lots of roasty chocolate notes, some dark fruit as well. The feel is soft, not overly sticky or cloying like some imperial stouts. Overall highly enjoyable, didn't disappoint and just thrilled to finally tick one of these!

Sampled from draught at Borefts 2019, this year's issue, so not retired. Even though I've had several varieties of Stormaktsporter, apparently I 'd never had the base beer... Pours a black color and a dense light brown head. Aroma's: sweet, roasted, umami. Retronasal: sweet, red fruit, roast. Flavor is sweet, umami, drop (licorice). Above medium bodied (rather full actually). Long finish with roast and light biterness, Great stuff!

2007 vintage. Poured from a very small bottle into a tiny snifter.
Pours dark brown with no head. Pretty clear with no noticeable haze.
Aroma is cacao, musty, and cardboard. Slightly oxidized
Taste is bakers chocolate and cocoa powder. Slight oxidation again, but not off-putting.
Smooth drinking, no alcohol heat, minimal carbonation
I'm glad I got to try this one
