Porter
Nøgne Ø

On tap at The Silver Stamp in Las Vegas, NV.

This one pours a fairly dark black color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like dark chocolate, roasted malt, and licorice.

This is a classic and straightforward porter, with lots of roast, some nice dark chocolate notes, licorice, a touch of smoke, and coffee. There’s not much sweetness but it’s definitely not overly bitter.

This creamy, light, but not thin, with a great drinkability.

I can’t even remember the last time I saw any beers from this place – this was an excellent European porter.

Drank in a new Teku glass.
Pours a dark mahogany with a full foamy tan head.
Smells of coffee and cocoa.
Nice smooth mouth feel.
Tastes of coffee, cocoa.

Dark black with a a tan vibrant head. Nose is cocoa and cola. Taste was cocoa and coffee, nothing overly so. Slight bitterness similar to a dark chocolate.

Batch 2672

Gentle to moderate pour yields a one inch tan head over a black body with lacing.

Nose of dark roasted malts and chocolate malt with a bit of coffee.

Taste mirrors nose closely with milk chocolate giving way to a bitter finish of coffee and bitter chocolate.

Good mouthfeel with fairly lively carbonation.

Overall, a solid Baltic Porter and should not be overlooked if you see it on the shelf.

Cheers!

Profoundly dark brown with a tan head that rises about two fingers in height and slowly recedes to a thin film.Decent retention with slight lacing.
Gentle roast notes make way for a smooth malt ride: mild chocolate notes, hints of earthy barley, and a nod towards caramalt. Also a hint of old fruit and earthiness.
The flavor starts with a blend of the aforementioned roasted malts and a vinous note that is a little "old" fruit, and almost leather to red wine barrel tasting. This really does develop, drift in one direction, come back, and meld together. A lot going on here.
Mouthfeel starts out almost fluffy before settling in to a medium heft. On the back end it moves from mildly fruity and sweet to a slightly bitter finish.
Overall, this is a really nice ride. I haven't had a "Baltic" porter, that hits the traditional notes, in quite a while.

Pours deep brown with a modest one finger mocha head. Not as dense or heavy as a stout, so a legit porter here. The nose is roasty; the flavor though is different. There is more emphasis on a sweeter profile, dark fruit and chocolate most prominent. The robust flavor deepens as the beer warms. I recommend serving this brew at 55F degrees to unleash the full flavor profile. A solid Baltic style porter. Currently pining for the fjords.

Bottled 21.06.23. Currently drinking this while overlooking the Oslofjord near Moss. How fitting. Happy to see this brewery still going strong. A high quality, delicious porter. Paired perfectly with the fire I made and the cool, damp mid-September night. Rich, roasty, with plenty of charred malt and dark chocolate. Smooth, clean, and not heavy which is what makes porters so great.

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a deep dark brown to black with a finger of beige head. The nose is roasty. The flavor is equally roasty with a hint or smoke and a smidge of sweetness on the finish.
