3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Rob_D_UK (185) - 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.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 sputnikus (53) - 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.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 Bamsen78 (826) - 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.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Grima (1864) - Saarburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - MAY 15, 2013
Bottle from Bierzwerg!
Pours deep black with very high, off-white creamy head. Smells malty with some bitter roasted coffee and some chocolate. Starts with pleasant roasted malts, coffee, chocolate and some smokiness. The middle part has much more burnt malts and bitter coffee. Goes into a smooth malty finish with some chocolate and burnt toffee notes.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20 Grzesiek79 (2365) - Radom, POLAND - MAY 11, 2013
Pelny aromat sliwki w czekoladzie, troche lukrecji i piernik. Wszystko to zarowno w smaku jak i zapachu sa wspaniale. Mocna tekstura piwa i niski alkohol jak na baltycki porter. Karmelowy slod zaznaczony wyraznie ale w tle wylania sie chmiel ktory troche wytrawnosci dostarcza. Tresciwe i porzadne piwo.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 Peter_L (149) - SWEDEN - MAY 11, 2013
Flaska från Systembolaget. Mörk vätska. Doft av rostat kaffe och smörkola. Smak av...Vilken luring, denna smakade inte mycket. Tunn, tunn kropp och ingen eftersmak.
3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 wainwj (10) - South Yorkshire, ENGLAND - MAY 8, 2013
Aroma is South American coffee and chocolate.
Taste is not as heavy as I expected, not much to it at first (may be due to temp rather than the beer)
Toffee and coffee aftertaste, sweet and dry. Very nice for something that isn’t usually my style of beer.

Bottle 0,33L. Tasted it a year ago. Very dark brown colour with two fingers of light brown head. Sweety aroma of caramel, hoppy flowers, cherry and raspberries. Sweet to acidic taste with bitter aftertaste. Not regular porter, for sure.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Deu (396) - IRELAND - MAY 5, 2013
UPDATED: MAY 11, 2013 Bottle. Black colour. Medium to small carbonation. No head. Taste of coffee. Nice but a little bit plain. Y
3.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20 stantheman (363) - British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 3, 2013
Bottle at Bitter Tasting Room in Vancouver. Huge tan head on this mother. A bit translucent. Not quite full black. Sweet on the nose. Heavy coffee overtones on the palate. A coffee porter, I’d say. Nice.
