Ægir Sumbel Porter

Norwegian: Ølet er fløyelsmjukt og fyldig i smaken, med litt sødme og eit preg av sjokolade og kaffi, som kjem frå rista malttypar. Perfekt til sjokoladekaka! Ei smaksoppleving åleina.

English: The beer is velvely soft and flavorful, with some sweetness and a touch of chocolate and coffee, due to roasted malts. Perfect with chocolate cake. An adventure on it’s own.

3.5 Draught at the brewery. Pours an opaque black, with a moderate light tan head. Milk chocolate, vanilla and cappuccino in the aroma. Light sweet citrus hops up front, plenty of sweet chocolate and vanilla in the mid-palate. Finishes smooth. Definitely on the sweeter end, but quite enjoyable.

3.6 Can at M-Café Leuven, opening over the entire top surface, something rarely seen even in progressive craft beer culture. Thanks Tessa for sharing! Creamy, regularly shaped, pale greyish beige, lightly lacing, stable head over a very dark burgundy-brown beer, bordering on black. Aroma of hazelnut paste, blood-like iron, walnut oil, raw salsify, 'fondant' chocolate, caramel candy, tea bags, fresh brown bread, butterscotch. Sweetish onset, dried fig, vague blackberries, sourish touch, spritzy carb but acceptable for the style, lightly oily mouthfeel with a metallic edge. Nutty and caramel candy-like maltiness, sweetish with a very soft toasty bitterish accent to it, mildly spicy hop touch, lingering iron effect, clean finish, softly bitter with remaining caramel sweetishness. Decent and typical modern porter, nothing more, nothing less.

3.1 33cl can at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours almost black with virtually no foam. Aroma is brown bread, sourdough biscuits. Body is slightly thin with limited carbonation. Taste is delicate in both sweetness and bitterness, not particularly interesting. Finish is short.

3.1 Can 33cl, a dark beer. Nose is on roasted caramel, roasted malt, nuts. Aroma is on coffee, slightly sour, dark chocolate, bit thin body, quite classic, not that rosbust, just ok;

3.4 Can from beer 52. Dark almost black colour with a thin tan head. Roasted malty aroma and taste this also light to mid bitter, slightly burnt. Medium body.

3.4 Can from Beer52. Light vanilla notes in the aroma, and a generous but unstable head. Gentle light roastiness and hint of chocolate. A very easy drinking beer, but almost too clean tasting for a porter.

4.0 Lovely smooth porter, soft brown sugar and chocolate flavour, deep but not heavy, it's a really well balanced beer, perfect for rainy autum or cold winter Sunday afternoons.

3.3 Can, Beer 52. Dark brown in colour, white foam. Quite a smooth porter with some round dark malty notes. A little metal and ash in the finish. Decent enough.

3.4 Dark beer with stable small beige head. At nose it has several dark chocolate and nuts notes. At palate it has medium body with an oily texture, the flavor is good for a porter almost like a chocolate porter with a nice aftertaste bitter but not in an exaggerated way.

3.5 Can from Beer52. Black beer, thin head. Malty aroma with a little coffee.Taste is malt, coffee, some bitter chocolate. It’s a straightforward porter but a very pleasant one all the same.

3.7 330ml can BB 24 Feb 2018. Very dark with nice tight tan head. Aromas of charred meat, a little coffee, cocoa. The taste is very flavourful - big meaty and roasty notes, some dark chocolate, a little coffee, caramel in the finish, moderate pleasant bitterness. Very light bodied and super drinkable. Well balanced and very enjoyable porter.

3.3 Clear dark ruby brown, no foam detected. Nice coffee and chocolate noes in aroma, same in taste. Complex this one. (Flam 201706)

4.0 Draught at brewpub. Pours a dark chocolate brown with a nice tan foamy head that reduces to a film that lasts. Metallic aroma to start but nice coffee, toffee, smoke and dark chocolate as it warms. Flavour is nice and sweet, with a good roast bitterness and a hint of warm spice. Finish is dry, lively and full-bodied. Dry chocolatey aftertaste. Delicious.

4.2 100517. Can from Bucket Boys. This is a very good porter with loads of dark chocolate aromas with some vanilla also in there as well. Looks great when poured into the glass with a big head of light coffee coloured foam that sits above a dark brown beer. Smooth and silky in the mouth. All round very good.

2.7 Suave aroma a chocolate con leche que se disipa rápido. Bastante plana y aguada. No aporta nada. BB 24/02/2018

3.1 33cl wide-mouth can from Beer52.com. A cola coloured pour with a billowing tan head, that vanishes quickly; malty caramel aroma with a hint of chocolate; rather thin and watery in the mouth with some coffee and chocolate; and a dry finish with lingering dessert chocolate.

3.4 Can. Dark brown. Aroma: coffee, caramel, chocolate cake, nice. Taste: caramel, light acidity, a little coffee, dried fruit, velvety.

3.5 Can. Black. Dark nose, some jerky, dried marinated beef on nose, roasty, dark coffee fruits. Kinda full bodied, feels thick, especially for the abv. Smooth. Soft, toasty finish. Pretty nice, lot better than expected. -- rated with beerbasher/winphone

3.4 Ciemnobrunatne, nieprzejrzyste. Piana brązowa drobna. A aromacie ciemne słody, lekka paloność. W smaku wytrawny, palony. Dość lekki w odczuciu. Ociera się o wodnistość Pozostawia lekko słonawy posmak. Ciekawy, ale nie porywa. Fajna puszka.
