3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled (vintage 2005)
Opaque black, big expresso head. Coffee, chocolate and hops in the aroma. Cold coffee, some herbs in the flavor. Liquerish, roasted. Roasted aftertaste too. Not so full bodied than with this ABV you could guess. A bit unbalanced - good anyway.

Bottle @ ChristianScheffel tasting. [thank you Christian]
Pours pitch-black with a big brown head. Aroma has loads of coffee, some viniousness, chocolate and a little liqourice. Nice light and oily palate. Flavour is great, heavy roasted with some chocolate and coffee. Nice - but could do with a little cellaring.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
21st September 2007
Warning! Early amateur rating! Thickish palate. Chocolate and malt start with a slightly smoky undertone. A little bitterness in the finish. Striking and sumptuos beer.

The beer was black with a lasting off-white head. Chocolate toffee and licorice all came through in the aroma. It showed a perfect dark flavour of roasted malts, and charcoal notes too. It is indeed a real London-style porter, and doubled. No point in mentioning these bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
bottle, 33cl (too little) from kvickly allerød, denmark.
black oil pouring ad creating a thick dark brown head. looks fantastic, aroma is coffee, roasted grains, cane sugar, faint fruity (hops), so strong it numbed my smelling senses for a minute. real good, flavor is roasted and dark roasted grain and malts, charchoal, faint chocolate, quite dry overall, and no distractions. coffee, caramel, changes character while you drink, good beer to enjoy slowly. palate is just a tad too watery.

Pitch black with a nougat-colored, huge and creamy head. The aroma is powerful with notes of roasted malt, sweet coffee and licorice. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of roasted coffee, berries, licorice and a very light bitterness. It’s nice, powerful and a yummi treat... 2481
