UPDATED: FEB 10, 2012 Poured deep, deep red/mahogany with a nice two-finger off-white head that retained well and left very nice lace. Strong roasted coffee aromas with plenty of semi-sweet chocolate to back it up. Toss in some dark cherries. raisins and toast to create a complex, well-balanced profile. Flavors follow, with the coffee taking enter stage, the chocolate more subdued and the dark fruit coming forward.

COMMENTO FINALE
buona porter, fine e molto beverina. Presenta classici sapori e profumi dello stile, senza eccessi . In bocca scorre bene e il finale secco e amarognolo invita un nuovo sorso. Il bicchiere si finisce in fretta. Molto simile alla "cugina" london stout, ma nel complesso ma mi ha convinto maggiormente, soprattutto a livello di palato, dando una sensazione più morbida e rotonda.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle, 75cl corked. It pours a dark, reddish brown body under a finger-thick light beige head. Some lacings. The aroma has roasted malts, some coffee and a touch of dried fruits and some cocoa. The flavor balances sweetness and cocoa dryness quite nice, but it doesn’t prevernt it from being rather boring. Full body, quite dry. Overall, a quite decent beer, certainly British, but it lacks a bit on complexity and taste. 120107
