Pours thick and black with a small brown head. Nose is heavy whiskey and oak. Decent floral bouquet as well. Taste is sweet with a fair amount of bitter bite toward the end but gets right back to a sweet finish. Mouthfeel is creamy and silky. Aftertaste is longlasting and great.

Bottle of 50 cl. Whole black beer with a big creamy chocolate brown head. Aroma of hard roasted malt, chocolate, licorice and a bit of coffee and smoke. The taste is hard lost malt with notes of mild coffee and chocolate. Good bitterness from the malt and a subtle acidity to keep in check the heavy notes

500ml bottle courtesy of secret santa 2011. thanks, santa! pours a rich, dark brown that sits nearly black in the glass topped by a thick, mocha-brown head that leaves smooth rings of lace on the glass. aroma is great with big notes of rich dark chocolate, roasted espresso, light smoke, and toasted pumpernickel bread backed by notes of sweet raisins, licorice, subtle orange zest, and leafy hop notes. flavor is delicious as well with smooth, dry, roasted malts, coffee & cream, and spicy rye/pumpernickel bread backed by hints of toffee, dry hops, and fruity trail mix on the back end. palate is smooth and medium bodied with light carbonation and a dry, bitter finish. overall, a great, classic porter.

Bottle from Churchkey. Extremely dark brown pour with a smallish bubbly head. Nose holds a surpising amount of dark fruit and sweet raisin bread, with touches of roast, rye, dark chocolate, and cream following on the flavor. Delightfully smooth mouthfeel, drinkable but well bodied. Damn good.

Black beer in the glass with a nice big light brown head. the head is nice fluffy and holds very good, lovely sight. Decent roasted malts and coffee, a sweet sugary taste at the basics, with a good moderated spicyness getting trough. Coffee and chocolate are combined very good, and it just misses a small boost at the first taste in my opinion. The roastiness in the end holds very nice, with a dry earthy (in a pleasant way) biterness, and some hops getting trough at the end. Well balanced, better then expected.
