Initial flavor is moderate to heavy sweet, finish flavor is heavy sweet sweet with a average to long duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft.

A red-brown beer with a chocolate brown disappearing head. The aroma is slightly roasty with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and candy sugar, leading up to a dry end. In my book this isn’t a porter, but closer to a Vienna, though it is still an OK beer.

Bottle, 6.8%. Black colour, small creamy light brown head. Distinct liquorice flavour, quite sweet with a hint of salt. Slick mouthfeel, mild carbonation. The bitterness is probably high, but it is not felt much against the sweetness. The alcohol is only noticed in the late finish when it warms my nose a bit.
