3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: DEC 30, 2007 500ml bottle.
Very dark brown, red hints, bit bready head. Bacony aroma from the best bottle I’ve had. (but some bottles are a little metalic.) Sweetens to a dunkelbocky maltiness. Taste is mostly a fairly burnt malt, some ash, tar and smoke. Body is also quite bocky. Doesn’t taste like it’s 6.8%. Finish is a mildly bitter burntness. Tasty brew.

Pours a deep amber with a big this long lasting beige head. Lots of lacing. Aroma is bitter hints of licorice. The flavor is sweet with notes of coffee, chocolate, brown sugar, and malt. Finishes sweet with a slight bitter finish. Sweeter than I expected. Definitely notes of fruit, not earthy, not "roasty". Body is thinner than I expected with a creamy mouth feel with a hint of alcohol. Rich and sweet, a nice porter.
