12 oz bottle. Pours a deep opaque brown color with a thick tan head. Nice lacing as well. Aroma is roasted malt, very malty. Flavor is roasted malt, toast, with chocolate and coffee notes. Finishes with a hop flourish. Palate is medium-thick and very smooth. Overall a very good porter.

Pours a dark brown nearly black with a fluffy soft tan head. Aroma is heavy malty and sweet with roasted chocolate. A bit of sweet vanilla and woodiness. Flavor starts out with some bitter chocolate and some coffee notes. Quickly turns to sweet caramel and milky chocolate. A tiny bit of earthy wood as well before a quick and fairly dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Nice all around porter but a little lacking in complexity and depth.

Bottle. [Tasting @ Papsoe 20-10-2008] Large creamy beige head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Very dark mahogany color. Aroma of roasted malt, mild chocolate and coffee. Over the palate came sweet chocolate, mild dried fruit and a hint of smoked like liquorish. Medium bodied with an average carbonation. Moderated sweet flavor with light bitterness. Lingering sweet chocolate finish.

Pours dark brown with a medium sized dense head. Smells roasted, malty. Taste is very good - malty, roasty, slightly bitter. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Very good porter.
