Bottled- Dark brown, almost black. Small bubbly pale brown head. Rich deep aroma of fudge, dark chocolate, vanilla cookies, soy, mild pepper and muscavado sugar. Medium-bodied with notes of roasted and burnt malts with notes of anise, ashes and dark chocolate. Long solid malty finish of burnt malts, dark chocolate, nuts, mild sweetness from dried fruits, anise-seeds and mild brown sugar. I dig this, a great porter, not outstanding

Wonderfully dry aroma of dark roasted malt with light hints of coffee and chocolate. The taste is pleasant fresh with a good taste of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. In the aftertaste there is a dry bitterness. The hops give the taste a fresh tone, a bit like a Black IPA. Tasty!

Bottle. Black with a small, creamy cappuccino head. Aroma: roasted, fruity, chocolate, a light aroma. Taste: roasted, coffee, cocoa, fruity, milk chocolate, citrus, quite bitter. Feels quite light and smooth.

Nästan svart öl med ett snabbt försvinnande beige skum. Doft av rostad malt, mörk choklad och en antydan av vanilj. Normalfyllig med smak av rostad malt mörk choklad och en nötig beska. En bra porter utan att sticka ut särskilt mycket.

Dark dark brown with a hint off red and a almost non-existing light brown head. Nice coffee, prune and chocolate notes, still thinner than expected. Medium acidity and low bitterness.

Lite tunn doft. Fin smak lite oljig och fina rostade toner av kaffe och lakrits. Ingen större eftersmak. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

330 ml bottle bought through Systembolaget. Pours very dark chestnut brown, almost black, with a small brownish gray head that clings to the glass while dissipating. Smell is sweet and loaded with chocolate combined with raisins, wood. honey, roasted malts, vanilla and hints of smoke and coffee. Taste is slightly sweet and bitter with roasted malts, bitter chocolate, coffee, pine, pumpernickel, prunes, citrusy hops and hints of metal and wet earth. Mouthfeel is slightly watery, slightly round and medium bodied. Finish is bitter with coffee, cocoa, roasted malts and salty liquorice. Elegant very nice smell combined with an ok and solid taste. Good but doesn’t live up to the marvelous smell.

Ar: smokey meat, licorice, tar, fruity hops, dark chocolate alcohol. Ap: dark black small tan head. F: Heavy roasted notes,smoke, smokey meat, burnt espresso, fruity hops, rather dry slightly acidic finish. M: average, soft bubbles but a little thin. T: Good flavours, with a thicker mouthfeel This would have benen a slam dunk!

Bottle. Muddy brown/black with a nice short dense brown head that leaves some marks on the glass. Aroma is pretty dull with some malty notes of cocoa powder, soy and a hint of coffee but mainly rubber or plastic. Some licorice and grass in the background. Taste is better with almost burnt notes and a pinch of caramel sweetness and a quite dry bitterness that gets herbal towards the end. Cocoa powder and coffee is there but the taste is dominated by burnt wood, licorice and soy with some citrus acidic notes. Weird watery notes comes and goes. Medium bodied with almost flat carbonation.

33cl, new exclusive Swedish brew Anno 2010, thx to Pressklubben Stockholm!, complex Porter, roasted/malty and slightly spicy/bitter, balanced, hazy, nearly no head, good brew

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 8 Oct 2011) Black colour with brief, foamy head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of coffee, vanilla, ashes and hints of oak wood. Roasted, malty taste with dark chocolate, black coffee, vanilla and a certain cocoa bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a fair amount of sweetness. Nice one.
