Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Almost black color with a pale brown head. Aroma: Roasted malt, cream, dark berries and coffee. Flavor: Roasted malt, dark berries, cream, licorice and coffee. I found this one to be a bit too weak and watery for a porter, but still drinkable.

May 21, 2008 [on draught at Three Guineas, Reading] Deep brown, virtually no head. Smells rich, smokey and inviting. Taste is intitially flat warm coca cola, developing into coffee and deep fruit richness (blackberries?). A smokey taste emerges, becoming a little bitter before mellowing into a beautiful roasted malt aftertaste. Lovely flavours, but a little too dry on the palate for my liking.

May 8, 2008 (Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Very dark brown colour with ruby hints. Foamy, pale brown head. roasted, malty nose with notes of dark fruit, coffee and chocolate. Roasted, malty taste with chocolate, cocoa, tobacco and hints of ashes and smoke. Medium body, balanced bitterness. Not overly complex, but a nice and tasty porter.
