4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20Bottle from Systembolaget.
Has an oily black texture in the glass with a minimal brown head. When you smell it you immediately feel the cocoa and then som pleasant toffee and grass. The taste is also dominated by cocoa without becoming either too bitter or too sweet, perfect balance. However, it lacks in mouthfeel, it doesn’t quite feel as heavy as the taste suggest. All in all though, this is a fantastic brew for a brewery’s first beer.

Tap at the Bishop’s Arms, Copenhagen. The aroma is big chocolate, leading to a medium bitter flavour with chocolate, roasted malt, a little coffee and liqourice on the palate. Superb chocolate porter I have to say.

Small beige head. Opaque black body. Roasty cocoa aroma with toffee notes. Sweet vanilla and cocoa taste with perfumy notes. Full-bodied. Mild, powdery mouthfeel.

Flavours berries, light sour, liquorice wood, cacao, chalk, roast and some yeast.
Aftertaste is stronger than the taste itself, cacao, chalk, roast and herbal toast.
