12 oz. bottle at The Royale. Batch 08M. Pours a dark brown color with a huge tan head that leaves some lace in the glass. Aroma of chocolate malts, earth, leafy hops, and toast. Also a little funk in the nose. Flavor of chocolate malts, coffee, roast, earth, and sweet bread. Medium bodied, with soft carbonation and a smooth, chocolaty mouthfeel. Nice, simple porter.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 DerWeg (1271) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 21, 2012
Bottle - not at all what I was expecting and I love it. Has aromas ant taste of chocolate and fruit, and an earthy-sour taste that is great, plus a solid dry hop note on the palate. A bit milky and a lint of sweet spiciness. Absolutely unique beer, only thing close to it was Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (the dry sourness.) Dark brown with big tan head.

Another very decent porter. it’s close to Bell’s, but Bell’s is a Michigan brewery and I have to give the nod to the local boys. There’s nothing wrong with this beer. It has all the qualities you expect in a good porter - just not great.

Bottle from Csakajósör. Strong lasting foam, very light aroma. Overpowering banana hints in the falvour that put me off totally.

Pours a rich ebony black color, with a creamy mocha head. Nose is malty and somewhat sweet. Taste is full bodied with bitterness and chocolate. Despite the low ABV can taste some alcohol. Landing is medium, with some chocolate and again some alcohol residue. Personally, would have liked a bit more sweetness. Quaff Score 7 /10 Nothing to rave about have had better
