Bottle. Black with a dark brown tinge and a large, creamy light brown head. Aroma: coffee, roasted malt, fruity hops, licorice, some kind of candy (wine gums?). Taste: licorice, fruit (orange?/citrus?/what?), chocolate, a hint of coffee, a slight acidity, maybe berries. Medium-bodied. Simple, but tasty.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Like a rather agessive british porter with lots of coffe.

Stort halvsmutsigt skum. Lite halvspritig doft. Extremt tunn vätska, men tydliga rostade toner. Smaken är väl ok men den blir alldeles för tunn.

Bottle. This stout is hard to put on the map. Its kind of a mix between an american porter and a english stout. Elegantly creamy and well balanced, still kind of hoppy with some coffe beans bitterness aswell. Slightly smoked. KInd of thin for its 6,8ABV, but that also adds to its drinability.

Bottle. Aroma: cocoa, coffee, alcohol, hoppy, burnt and toasted. Nice head nd appearance. Dry and tart taste. Fizzy and harsh palate. Could be more balanced

500ml Bottle - Black with a foamy head. Roasted and hoppy aroma with hints of soap, chocolate and coffee. Smooth and nicely balanced taste with coffee, plain chocolate, soapy hops and a roasted and bitter finish.

Pours black with a nice foamy head. Aroma has hints of chocolate and coffee. Taste is pretty roasted but the body is kinda light and the finish is pretty bland. Alcohol burns through a bit too much.
