Extremely dark brown with next to no head. Roasty aroma with some dark chocolate, liquorice and molasses. Flavor started slightly sweet, with some coffee, more chocolate and long, dry finish. Light to Medium body.BBC is not on my favorite Brewery list from the 2 brews I had from them. The beer is drinkable, just not very memorable.

Cask (gravity)@St. Urho’s Pub
Dark nut brown color, small beige head. Coffeish, ashy nose. Medium-bodied. Sticky front. Harsh, coffeish, some tar and tobacco ash. Lingering roasty maltyness in the finish. Ok real porter, but I prefer cask porters, which are soft.

Cask @Kitty´s, Helsinki. Poured dark brown with a thin white head. Lovely instant coffee and chocolate aroma. Flavor is intense, coffee and cocoa, slight burntness. Just the way I like it. Very very drinkable.

Cask@Kittys, Helsinki. Deep ambery brown colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is bready, a bit grassy, ashy and quite roasted. Flavour is quite similar, maybe a bit off, but still pleasant.

Cask at the Rake. Pours an almost clear, amber-brown with a foamy, white head. A mild dark malt aroma with some ripe fruits, roasted cocoa beans and bark. Flavor holds modest sweetness, with some caramel malts, lightly toasted bread, and mild bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Faintly roasty in the finish, with some more caramel, light cocoa and fruit. Exceedingly drinkable. Wonderful beer.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Cask at Angleterre, Helsinki) Aroma was good with its roastedness and chocolate. Flavour was too burnt for my taste. Balance was good. Not a bad brew but less burntness and I would have given this one better score.

Thick, light but with a dryness from the flowery hops. Sweet malt lovely really very floral.
