Sehr dunkele Farbe, beinahe undurchsichtig ist dieses Bier. Geruchlich röstig-malzig, bockbierartig. Im Antrunk süß und malzig. Ab der Mitte gesellen sich Aromen nach Kaffeebohnen hinzu, vielleicht auch etwas bananige Untertöne. Abgang alkoholisch. Der Porter ist ok, allerdings auch heftig süß und benebelnd.

Brown pour with medium tan head. Aroma of nuts, some coffee. Flavor was more coffee, some toasted nuts, but finish was a bit watery and metallic which grew the more sips I had.

very good basic porter. dark pour. taste was toasted maltiness with small bit of chocolate - goooooood porter

Bottle from Superbest Rødovre. Black with a average beige head. Aroma and flavour of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate, coffee and hops.

Served from a bottle from BevMo. The appearance is a coffee brown with a small off white head. The aromas are sweet candy, residual sugars, black jelly beans. The flavors enter with a nothingness. It grows to a roasted coffee bean, roasted grain, hard candy thing. The brew fills in more as you drink it. More intense flavors. The mouth is thin and hallow with too much carbonation. This grew on me some.

Flaske: Mørkebrun øl med et lille skumhoved. Sødlig maltet duft uden brændthed eller humle. Meget porteragtig i sødmen, men absolut intet til at bakke den megen sødme op med. Lugter og smager som en Carlsberg makro.

Bottle. Pours a deep brown/black with rich, brown, quickly dispersing foam. Smellls crisp, lightly hopped, alcoholic and roasty. Tastes somewhat roasty, with plenty of bourbon/alcohol and hints of smoke. Feels very thin.
