A pitch black beer with a disappearing chocolate brown head. The aroma is roasted with notes of chocolate and coffee, and so is the flavor, leading up to a dry end. Mysteriously, the body is thin.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of aspidites/IrishBoy. Pours black and opaque with a light brown head. Aroma of dried fruit and alcohol. Quite full-bodied with loads of hard roasted malts, vanilla and....vitamins! Quite some bitterness from the malts. But very pleasant. 270607 and 070907

<i>Bottled.</i> Very black, brief jead. Saölty licorice aroma. Sweet and very roasty. Very rich with some molasses and coffee, salty bitter finish. The mouthfeel is a bit mellow.

Blind tasting at sk8vikings porter / stout tasting, beer no 1. Pours deep brown with light brown head, bobbly. Dark chocolate and underlying liqourice aroma. Full bodied. Perfectly balanced chocolate and liqourice flavour. Soft yet warming finish. Very nice, somewhat two component brew (chocolate and liqourice).

Very dark brown colour. Fudgey, lightly chocolatey aroma. Stinging, hoppy flavours with a lot of roasty, bitter intensity. Fairly straightforward character, but intense.
