UPDATED: APR 9, 2021 This is a porter that I'm not satisfied with. The only thing that impresses me is its wine label. Black wine, with little foam and no longer lasting, smells of coffee and caramel. After entrance, this feeling tends to fade quickly and disappear. The rest of the only light bitter, there seems to be a little medicine, the feeling is not very good. All in all, this Porter medium bodied wine is moderate in taste, isn't it? Suitable for beginners. Just try it, not recommended!

UPDATED: JUN 3, 2019 Bottles over the years, pours a thin black color with average head. Nose and flavor are watered down porter: some weak cocoa, crappy coffee, roasted malt, light nuts, and grass. Light bodied and forgettable.

Keg at The Merchant, CW, 31/10/18. Light black with a decent tan head that retains well. Nose is chocolate biscuit, liquorice, mellow roast, dried fruits. Taste comprises cocoa powder, light roast, toffee, brown sugar, raisins. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough porter.

UPDATED: OCT 28, 2018 Bottle, Pours black with thin tan head. Slight sweetness upfront leads to taste of roasted chocolate and coffee and a nice smooth finish. Enjoyable beer.

From Beergium. In Teku glass. Playing Avernum 3. Really good example of a porter, with a smooth palate and chocolately flavors. Really drinkable

Bottle courtesy of Barry and Lynn, cheers. Had this sat by pond, whilst eating homemade Pizza. Thurs' 14th June 2018 Surprised that I had not had this before. Really good porter, coffee, good malty backbone, fruity. Pretty good effort. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Pours brown from the bottle. A thin, frothy head lingers. Aroma is roasted grains, coffee, wet rocks. Taste is mildly bitter, slightly more bitter at the end. Body is to the light side of medium, texture is lightly oily. Overall, decent stuff.

$2.00 Beer Run bottle. Pours dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, light cocoa, light coffee, metal. Slightly sweet roasted malt, chocolate, light coffee, light metallic notes. Slight sweet up front, but finishes dry. Solid, but unexciting.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is roasty with dark malt, caramel, notes of chocolate, hints of coffee and tobacco. Flavour is medium sweet with a roasty bitterness. Body is medium. I'd like a little more body, but besides that I can't fault this fine Porter.

#1982
Tap. Pale amber to brown, medium white head. Aroma of dark caramel, chocolate, toasty tones. Taste is neutral, lightly bitter. Cherries, toasty, berries, some tart notes. Light body, moderately carbonated. A bit watery.
Too light for me.
