Rating #700. 50cl bottle from CM Vantaa. Poured black color with a frothy, beige head. Aroma is roasted, even some burned malt and coffee. Flavor is roasted malt and liquirice. Slightly dry finish. OK, but bit thin. Still an enjoyable and decent porter.

Opaque brown color, small steady brown head. Very light coffeish-chocolaty nose. Medium-bodied. Flavor is coffeish, roasted malty with typical coffee beams - vegetables -effect. Light hoppyness. Finish is watery. Otherwise clean porter, but not very exiciting.

500ml Bottle (Shared by FatPhil, thanks) - Dark brown with red tinges and a tan head. Roasted and slightly smoky aroma with notes of chocolate and coffee. Smooth taste with plain chocolate and some smoky notes detected. Fairly enjoyable.

7 Lovely chocolatey aroma. Quite burnt.
4 Deep reddy brown, reasonably lasting coffee-coloured head.
7 Retronasals a little freezer icy. Taste a very nice rich burnt roast. Very burnt, heading towards ashy in places.
4 Not quite watery palate, lively carbonation. Finish dry, slightly acidic.
13 A little bit biting, hops too spiky, but pretty good porter.

Bottle. Dark brown – almost black, average and mostly lasting light brown head. Moderate lightly sweetish aroma with roasted malt, some coffee and chocolate. Body is moderate, sweetish flavor with roasted malt, some licorice and coffee.Finish is average, dryish with roasted malt. Quite good 4,7% porter – liked roasted malt with dryish flavor.

(Bottled) Almost black with a medium, beige head. Aroma of roasted-burned malt, tobacco, black coffee, a touch of chocolate. Quite roasty, even burned flavor with licorice and decent balancing maltiness, but still too burned. Almost medium body, somewhat carbonated palate. Ok, but needs something sweet and chocolatey to go with it. 4344
