Pours a low head with little retention. Dark brown to black in color. A lot of sweetness present, nice bitterness. Kind of reminds me of a sweet stout. Lots of malty taste.

bottle thanks to Chris... decent porter, nothing special but good enough to drink

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Very dark brown, beige head. Aroma of chocolate pudding and molasses. Sweet and soft, relatively thick wheree spicy hops and mild warmign alcohol try to counteract the molasses. Fairly low bitterness. Unusually good 10% porter.

Black of color with a beige head. An aroma of roasted malt, liqurice and dark fruits. A flavor of roasted malt, oily and liqurice.

Bottle @ chriso. Pours a black color with a small tan head. Has a roasted malty chocolate aroma. Roasted malty chocoalte flavor with hints of licorice. Has a roasted malty chocolate finish.

Bottle (Stockholm Beer Festival 2011) - Dark brown in colour. Fruity and roasted aroma with notes of chocolate and liquorice. Liquorice, chocolate and coffee in the tasted. Roasted finish.

Bottle. Pours impenetrable black with a creamy beige head. Delicious dark fruity aroma with sweet caramel, plums, port, light alcohol, perhaps slight vanilla. Flavour is as powerful and massive as you could have wanted. Pretty much the same notes going on, massive fruity sweetness with some liquorice and a surprisingly dry ending, making it scarily drinkable. This is so fruity and port-like that it feels like one of those delicious aged imperial stouts or porters. It could have been thicker and creamier, but dang, this is good. Need more of this.

Bottle. A clear beer, reddish dark brown body and a dense, finger-thick light beige head. There’s some alcohol on the nose, but not much. Chocolate, coffee and a touch of raisins in the aroma. Brown sugar too. Super smooth on the palate, full-bodied and with a little warmth. Dark chocolate, mocha and a touch of raisins in the flavor. A little bitterness too, not much. A very nice beer, sort of one-dimensional, but nice. Looking forward to the next bottle. 111001

Dark coca-cola like look, small brown head. Plums and other dry sweet fruits on the nose together with roasted malt notes. Very sweet taste, hints of toffee, roasted malts, burnt caramel and some far chocolate hints. Full body, oily feel, soft carbonation and a very sweet and light liquor like after taste. Good one.

Bottle at Chris O’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2011. Dark brown to black color. The aromas and flavors of raisins, chocolate and licorice. Warming with some hot alcohol also. Full body. Tastes slightly muddy, with no clear malt or hop profile.
