Both good. I prefer the Seafood Platter.

Was PM’ing with Eli about this earlier so had to make it my first beer of the weekend. Alternative Currency, a 5.8% porter by Verdant. For those that don’t realise the significance Verdant make, almost exclusively, IPA’s and varations on that theme. They have strayed from that before, but not to my knowledge, as far as stouts and porters.
Their reputation is built on very finely manipulated blends of different grains combined with some hop magic. I would suggest they are doing a good job of transferring these skills to darker beers, although they are starting off simply. The results are good. It is ridiculously well balanced. There are oats to soften the mouth feel, barley for bitterness, and three different hops are used for complexity. It has a dry finish too as Porters should. Very tasty for its ABV, in many ways a traditional albeit quite refined porter.

That beer sounds and looks great. I really like the label. -
@neph93 , I'd have to agree with Eli. I paid $7 for the BOMB!. It's very good. But, not $20+ good. I don't think I'd pay much more for it than I did, either.
The standard bomb is about $10-12 here although I don’t see it often. These were special editions. Just looked them up, and they were two variations on the Prairie Noir. Both cost 250kr. which is $27 at today’s rates.
