Today it rained every few minutes for a good chunk of the day so I hid in the greenhouse and a porter seemed appropriate.
This one is called Sumbel and it is brewed by Ægir Bryggeri. Fun fact I found out with this occasion: in Norse mythology Ægir was a friend to the gods, a giant that brew beer in a cauldron gifted to him by Thor and Tyr and he threw parties for the gods.
It pours a rich, almost black, brown with a thin head. The aroma is as expected, roasted malts, some coffee and cocoa, some smoke maybe?
It is full of flavour. Roasted malts, dark chocolate, a bit of coffee. I like that it is not too sweet and not too bitter either.
It is a great porter, lovely balance and really easy to drink. At 4.7% having a few of these won't hurt too much.
And... it's gone...
Cheers guys!
