Borresteijn (1349), Amstelveen, Netherlands Aug 7, 2008 On tap @ De Geuzen and De Paas, 2007. Black beer, creamy beige head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malts, chocolate, some sweetness. Flavour is sweet at first, coffee, liquorice, chocolate. Slightly metallic. Bitter coffee finish and aftertaste. Thick and oily palate/mouthfeel. Very complex and extremely nice beer. MitchWayne (264), Kokkola, Finland Aug 7, 2008 One of the best if not the best beer in Finland. Delicious liquid chocolate ryebread with a nicely dry aftertaste. Winter warmer, summer dessert and simply a great beer. NJJereme (262), Saint Petersburg, Florida, USA Aug 4, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark coffee color with a medium sized dark tan head. Has the aroma of dark chocolate, coffee and cherries. Flavor follows in that respective order, with the fruit flavor on the finish. Pretty heavily bodied. Coffee flavor predominant in the aftertaste. A good selection. Allstar (30), , Virginia, USA Aug 4, 2008 It poured very dark brown/black. It had a dark brown head to it. There was a strong aroma of fruit. It tastes like mocha/chocolate, with a bitter finish. k4df4l (154), DTown, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 27, 2008 Pours black with deep brown edges and mocha foam. Aromas of dark fruit, alcohol, coffee & dark chocolates. Flavor is very sweet malt, caramel & chocolate with plenty of bitter roast espresso & dusty chocolate near the finish. Finishes rather dry with a slight mineral note. douglas88 (1557), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Jul 27, 2008 Updated: Jul 28, 2008Bottle thanks to Santa. Pours a pure black body with a medium light brown head. The aroma is full of a boozy combination of dark fruit and expresso. The taste is very nice; tons of sweet fruits, blackberries mostly, some coffee and chocolates, and a dry and toasted malt finish. A very nice Porter for sure. I could live in Finland just to drink these, plus all those hot Finnish girls. bb (2905), Martinez, California, USA Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. Blackish beer with a nice tan head. Big chocolate, caramel, malt aroma. Caramel malt flavor with light roast/espresso and slight mineral notes. Medium bodied. Lingering mineral, caramel, and light roast. AgentSteve (1334), SF Bay Area, California, USA Jul 25, 2008 Best of the night, shared by Fidel. Pours almost black with a decent, dark tan head. This was a big beer in nose and flavor. Complexity flowed with chocolate, molasses, roasted malt, finishing a bit dry and subtle bitterness. Very good beer.
