Bottle at ØLbaren. Black - brown head. Burned, roasted, licorice, english licorice, dryness, light cherry, vegetables, dark fruits. A bit boring - not bad !!!

Bottle. A deep red, almost black beer with a big beige head. The aroma and taste is dusty and of roasted malt/coffee/chocolate, some rye bread and dark fruits. Medium to full body with a dry, coffee finish.

22oz bomber.
Pours a very dark brown, near black in color. A nice two inch head forms on the pour. Smell is highly roasted malts. Taste is a lot more of the roasted malts with just a hint of something sweet as well. Mouthfeel is full and creamy. Not sure "silky" is the word I would use to describe it, but still a damn good porter. HF is making some very good beers. If they could only up the complexity a bit they would be right there with the best.

Very dark witha bit of red. Aroma of dark fruit, coffee and roasted malt. The flavor is of prunes or raisens with a coffee aftertaste.

Dark brown with medium beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and coffee notes. Sweet flavor with fairly hard roasted malt, caramel and coffee notes.

(Botle 65 cl) Courtesy of goryshkewych. Pours a warm dark brown with a tint of red and a light brown head. Aroma of metal, yeast, burned malt and dried fruit. Medium body wirh both dried and overripe fruit accents and some burned malt. Dry and lightly vinous finish. 260708

Bottle: Pours a mahogany pour with light brown highlights. Thick and fluffy head. Higher than average carbonation really lends to a velvety mouthfeel in conjunction with the roasted malts. Roasted notes and brown sugars are prominent here. Nice creamy texture. Definitely a great go-to porter.

Bottled - tasted blind. A brown beer with a red shine under a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with medium notes of roasted malt, and so is the flavor, leading to a dry roasted finish.
