4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 Vignale (914) - Malmö, SWEDEN - FEB 2, 2012
Söta rostade aromer av torkade plommon, russin, choklad, soja, kaffe och lite humle. Relativt lätt kropp, ganska söt, mandel, hårdrostad och aningens rökig utan att vara kärv, måttlig beska men ändå en lång eftersmak. Bra balans mellan sötma-syrlighet och beska, fruktighet och kärvhet. Skulle jag få önska mig något är det en lite rundare och lenare munkänsla annars är den perfekt.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20 CapFlu (3798) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 11, 2011
(50cl bottle) Courtesy of Blomster. Pours a near headless tan top and a near opaque reddish-brown body. Nose of molasses, coffee ground and cigarette ash. Wonderful aroma. Tongue is mildly tart and over-carbonated but the flavour is great: coffee beans, red wine, vanilla and burnt malt. Similar to St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout - just a great beer! Thanks Christer.

Bottle, sample.
Dark brown with a light brown head.
Aroma: chocolate, fruit, licorice.
Taste: hoppy, citrus, sweet licorice, chocolate.

Sure, this may just be a simple everyday porter, but with so much flavour and the low ABV, I’d definitely like to keep a case around the house.
