johninmelb (1032) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - JUN 18, 2013
Toasty nose with fruity hop notes in harmony with some dark cocoa. Pours a deep brown with a big ol’ fluffy tan head. Flavour is lovely - rich and dark with lots of vanilla sweetness but also a good whack of zesty balance from the hops; indeed, almost a BIPA. Finish is well-rounded and full of bitter chocolate. Great.

Très foncé, presque noir avec une grande mousse marron. L’arôme de sucre brun et fruits noir. Le goût est pareille. Plus carbonation que la moyenne.

A standard porter, good but not special. I dont like the smell though, it has a heavy burned smell. It has a good roasted malt taste, with a bitter aftertaste. A saturated beer, so no refurmentation. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Black with little head. Aroma has dark bread and roasted malts. The taste has both of them and is also sugary sweet. The finish is nice and long.

A good porter. Very dark colour with beige head. An intense sweet aroma of banana and caramel which is actually better than its taste.

Rob_D_UK (229) - Surrey, ENGLAND - MAY 23, 2013
Pours very dark brown with a thin creamy-coloured head. Roasted porter aromas with some banana. At first on the palate I do get some vanilla, but then the dark roasted flavours take over and the big chocolate tastes come out.

sputnikus (57) - Brno, CZECH REPUBLIC - MAY 21, 2013
Tap @ Ochutnavkova pivnice. Pours black liquid with stable, tan head. Aroma is full of coffee, dried fruit and alcohol. Taste sweet, kinda like Irish coffee. Full body with creamy texture and soft carbonation. Tasteful coffee porter, worth a shot.

Bamsen78 (1043) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAY 19, 2013
Bottle. Pours cloudy dark brown with airy light tan head. Dark aroma of malt, caramel and dried fruit. Roasty, sweetish taste of malt with notes of caramel, ending bitter. Good but not exactly revolutionary.
