Yess, and also a couple of cheese varieties combined with ashes or charcoal. https://stanstedfarmshop.com/2014/09/17/char-coal-cheese-totally-black-cheese/

I don't think it's exactly the same image that appears on the cover, but it is indeed from the album art for Amnesiac.
Yes, 'sort' is the basic form. You don't add a '-t' when it's neuter because it's there already. At least, I assume that's the reason why. The important bit is that you don't add it. :P

"Sorte" is for plural- 'the blackberries are black'="solbærrene er sorte".
"Ost" is common gender or n-word. 'The cheese'="osten".

@ MMuhr
You are right that ost is a neuter word (t-word), but adjectives that modify neuter words take the t-ending (here being no ending, because of the already present t at the end), and not the e-ending. Se the Tips Notes for more information ;-)

No, "en ost" is a common word. It does not use "et" which means that it is not neuter.

"a black cheese" is "en sort ost", but if it were a particular black cheese: "the black cheese" does use "sorte" as "den sorte ost".

The man is so hungry that he didn't eat just some of the cheese, but the whole thing: an entire wheel of cheese or hopefully just an entire ball of cheese. It could be considered a cheese, if you have more than one cheese in the refrigerator. Thank God, he didn't find the Camembert! "The Brie is still here!" We are fine for the party, he didn't even find the other black cheese.

‘That’s disgusting.’ ‘It’s fine, it’s just the wax...’ ‘No, I’m vegan.’

how come it was sorte in one sentence and sort in the other? I think they should show visuals of the colors before we do the sentences

Plural words use "sorte" and so do words with a definite article instead of the indefinite article: "en sort ost", but "den sorte ost" and "sorte oste".
Okay, dont no why i share this with you guys, but i do. Go to youtube and search for Nephew, it is a danish band and they have english and danish songs.

Would love to try cheese in coffee as in " Midnight Sun" but wondering if a particular variety of cheese is required?

I wrote "the man eats a black cheese" then second guessed myself and wrote "the man eats black cheese" and got it wrong
