4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Purchased at La Cave a la Bulles in Paris, FR; enjoyed at home on a cool spring Saturday while watching baseball. Appearance is a dark black with a thin white head that rims around the glass. Aroma of roasted, bitter chocolate malt, I’m also getting a very faint mint aroma, maybe a little bit of coffee, smell is very nice. Taste is lightly bitter and goes down dry with roasted chocolate malt notes, not much carbonation. Pretty good stuff!

In bottle. Smells like grass and endives. Tastes like endives and charcoaled biscuit. A bit hoppy. A very well-balanced and tasty porter.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Black. Loads of dry burnt rubbery salty licorice on nose. Body is full, salty roasty goodness. A bit oily, but bitter. Doesn’t pretend to be soft, easy, but rather agressive, handing out punches in all directions.
