3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. A dark pour with a chocolate 1/2" head. Fair amount of lacing. The aroma is rum and grape bubble gum (?). Taste is fresh, a hint of caramel, that has a long fade to notes of plum and finally a roasted smokiness. My first reaction was not to like it, but after the initial shock it quickly became rather appealing.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
07-FEB-2012, bottle @home, from "Superbest".
Pours clear, dark brown with lasting beige head.
Nose is caramel and malty roasted chocolate with a strange - perhaps unclean note of...of...I am not sure - perhaps wet rye bread? So perhaps not unclean, anyway.
Taste is malty, coca cola, chocolate, and cinnamon. Some roast.
Turns very watery in the middle, but an OK length with roastedness. No real bitterness. OK brew.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
This was tasted with friends at the Balkens Restaurant in Richmond. There was an immediate positive reaction by all beer drinkers. This porter is special. Very smooth from beginning to end. The dark beer poured black with small tan head. Soft carbonation and a medium body. As you drink you can detect some licorce and chocolate. This one is worth having more often

Rating #676, flaske fra Lagersalget
En mørkebrun øl med et lille tæt skum, der dog forsvinder forholdsvis hurtigt. Duften er ikke særligt tydelig, men er meget præget af chokolade, lidt sødme/karamel og en smule ristethed. Der er også en smule frugt, nærmest kiwi-duft i baggrunden. Smagen er først chokoladeagtig med en smule rosin og karamel, dernæst træder en træsmag som giver associationer til whiskey ind i billedet, og hele tiden eksisterer en let ristet malt som sidesmag. Eftersmagen er let ristet, let træagtig og en smule alkoholisk, dog ikke så meget så det er skadeligt for smagen. Øllet kunne godt være lidt tykkere uden det ville skade noget, da det nu engang er en porter, men til gengæld er den dejligt blød i munden.
