Thanks Rune! Dark reddish brown coloured. Moderate head. Loads of chocolate and some toffee in the aroma. Sweetish malty chocolate flavour. A light roastiness adds some pleasant balancing bitterness. It also has a touch of blood. Soft carbonation. Fairly light body. Well made and very quaffable without being anything extraordinary. You would expect something heavier from a beer named Maximus.

Flaska delad med Jacob. CocaColabrun med ljust lätt skum som avtar snabbt. Doftar mjölkchoklad, nogat, kola, karamell och kallt kaffe. Mjuk munkänsla, balandserad, medelfyllig kropp. Smak av kola karamell kaffe och choklad. Avslutar med lakris, hallongodis, och bassettgodis. Väldigt liten humleton. Behaglig balanserad porter.

Fra kran på Ølhallen 30 Jun 11. Denne har kommet og gått på kran og ikke vært lett å fange - men plutselig var den der! Svart. OK svakt farget skum som varer en stund. Fin sjokoladearoma. God harmonisk smak. Engelsk i stilen: Ikke påtrengende, men let og der er det litt nøtter, litt kaffe, litt sjokolade. Myk munnfølelse. En behagelig porter som ber om et større publikum - og en annen årstid: Dette er kveldskos i høstmørket.

500ml draught at Macks Ølhallen where it was nicely served at a moderate chilled temperature. Almost jet black body. Tan coloured head with some duration. Dotted spots to the glassware. Inviting aroma of grainy, chocolate malts. Fine blend of different malts providing a flavour profile that is slightly roasted and has solid notes of chocolate, caramel and creamy malts offset by dusty hops. Bittering malts to a nice rounded aftertaste. A bit heavy to drink, but overall very good. The availability of this porter version from Mack should definitely not be limited to Ølhallen (Tromsø, 18.05.2011).
