Walnut Porter
Lervig Aktiebryggeri

 

The roasted malt aromas pair nicely with the nuttiness from the hazelnut and walnut extract. Maybe some subtle rye, but it comes through much more distinctly in the taste, giving it a spiciness at the end. It's enjoyable, but the rye seems to be the dominant flavor overall.

Served in a tulip.

Appearance: Thin dark brown body and a light tan head which is thin to begin with. Head settles quick after first pour rising just about one third of an inch off the body.

Smell: Light nuts and sweet cinnamon.

Taste: Sweet cake and light sugars with malts. It is a touch bitter but smooth as a slice a bread.

Mouth: Somewhat sticky, after taste dissipates pretty quickly. Feels a bit like toasted bread with touch of maple and nutella at the end.

Overall: Good brew, would definitely like to have as a keeper in the fridge but unfortunately not available in the US that I know of. Worth having after dinner, Salud!

 

Very dark mahogany pour with a thin tan head. Roasted malts, cherries, milk chocolate and some nuts. Medium carbonation with a bitter-sweet aftertaste.

Black color with dark brown head. Aroma has dark, roasted malts and some chocolate. Taste starts with vanilla sweetness, chocolate, sweet coffee and dark malts. There is a hint of nuttiness but I couldn't put my finger on walnuts. Medium body and carbonation. Overall it's really good porter but I expected some more nuts.

 

This is a decent porter with somes roasted flavors bordering watery but with a smooth texture not due to carbonation but probably the walnut oils. Unfortunately, aside from the feel no presence of nuts were detected
