Tap at Vices et Versa. Dark black-brown beer with a thin white head. Aroma is quite coffeeish and roasty with a bit of lightly herbal character. A light anise seed character and a bit of heavy roastiness. Sort of light and a little bit molassessy. A touch of treacly swetness and a light coffeeish roastiness. A nice solid porter.

Bottle - 750ml. Pours a black body with an average beige frothy head. Enjoyable malty/hoppy aroma with coffeeish, roasty, and chocolate hints. Taste is sharp, well balanced and ends with a decent bitter/roasty finish. Well done. Thanks to René for this bottle.

a solid porter, good roasted malt, and coffee notes, a touch watery, but overall a good session porter, not too heavy, and flavorful.
