750ml bottle, caged and synthetic corked. Pours dark brown/black. slight fizz, No head. Aroma of sweet coffee. Very nice porter, with Belgian yeast (correction, Witbread yeast). Nice hop aroma, flavor, and bitterness. Seems to be single hop as well. medium bodied.

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle shared by MaxxDaddy. Very dry, cappuccino and roast aroma. Flavor is a relatively mild roastiness, More dryness, a light chalkiness. Fairly easy to put down with lots of euro hops. Someone hard to drink though a fairly balanced and interesting beer overall. Not worth the $22 price tag... American beers of this caliber can be had for $2/12oz.

Aug 14, 2008 courtesy of Laurent Mousson and Ron Pattinson - very dark brown almost black with a little beige foam; toasted aroma of chocolate and pralines; slightly oily, full-bodied and very bitter before a long chocolatey finish - deeply tasty, bitter and with a fantastic character, very complex yet very drinkable; marvellous!
