Bottle 33cl. A dark beer with low head. Smell is malty and roasted. Aroma is a sweet caramel and roasted malt style beer, medium creamy, good roast flavor with nice chocolate and sweet notes. Some fruit hints at the finish, a goos porter a bit heavy but pleasant.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: DEC 18, 2010 Bottle.
A - Dark garnet color with a large, foamy, thick, creamy tan head. Good retention that sticks around for awhile. Leaves a nice layer of lace.
S - Sweet malt with cocoa and some anise (along with some raisin) aroma gives it a chocolaty and tart aroma. Slightly roasted malt with some caramel. Could be a little stronger, but pretty good.
T - Similar to the nose with chocolate, some anise, and some raisin come out along with the roasted, sweet, caramel malt. Some earthy and nutty flavors come out along with a touch of spiciness. Hints of coffee, but fairly faint. Very nice mix of flavors and pretty well balanced.
M - Fuller side of medium body with a good level of carbonation. Pretty smooth and creamy. Just gets a touch of a drying feel at the end.
D - Very easy to drink porter with a nice mix of flavors that is well balanced. Keeps me wanting to drink more.
Notes: A very nice porter with mixes of cocoa, anise, raisin, nutty, earthy, and caramel malt flavors. Sweet, tart, spicy, and roasted tones all come in and out. Might not be world class, but a great beer for a good price. Recommend picking one up.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a dark brown color with an off-white soapy head. Has an aroma of caramel and bread with hints of roast. Sweet roasty taste with nice chocolate notes on the finish. Notes of caramel throughout. Excellent.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: FEB 8, 2011 Nagyon kedvemre való sör ez annak ellenére, hogy fekete. Kellemes, nem tolakodó illat ami kávé, föld, hamu, és csoki harmonikus keverékeként tudnám definiálni.
Az ízek szintén hasonlóak és kiegyensúlyozottak. Meg fogom szeretni a nedüt! Szép középbarna hab, fekete szín. Még-még belőle.
Tudnak a yenkik.

26th April 2006
Warning! Early amateur rating! Sharp start - noticeably banana! Finishes smoky, bitter and dry. Gets better with peserverence. Bitter chocolate and coffee. Still getting better...
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: JAN 31, 2011 Bottle. Black with a large light brown head. Aroma: wine gums, blackcurrants, chocolate. Taste: Sweet licorice, wine gums, berries, just a bit of milk chocolate, rather sweet, slightly acidic. Full and creamy mouthfeel, pretty stouty in character.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours an opaque dark brown with a fine-grained cappucino head. Smells somewhat dry and austere for a porter; spice and roast is about it. Palate is rich and roasty, but the dryness remains; espresso and rye notes predominate. Mouthfeel is clean, crisp, and elegant. Good.
