Pours vey dark brown with a slightly red shade. Strong smell of coffee and chocolate with some cinnamon and vanilla. Taste has also a lot of coffee and dark chocolate aromas. Dry mouthfeel and a bit smoky aftertaste. Mildly carbonated. Quite malty.

Aug 21, 2008 Deep brown in colour with a long lasting creamy brown coloured head, excellent lacing. The aroma is of weak coffee, some cream, light roast, burnt, malty and sweet. The flavour is sweet with some noticable coffee roast, light smoke. Sweet and roasty mouthfeel, medium body, moderate carbonation. Finishes lingering, sweet with just a hint of black coffee bitterness.
The coffee is there but never in the forefront, quite nice all around.
355ml bottle obtained in a trade with Optigon, thanks Gary.
Opened on March 15, 2008
Best before January 25, 2009.

Aug 21, 2008 Unsurprisingly, the coffee flavours dominate this dark brown, almost black, beer. although typically of a porter there are also notes of chocolate and roast. This is one of the better porters I’ve had this year.

Aug 19, 2008 A true rich bold roasted coffee flavor throughout. A very nice night cap beer, super coffee like, so if you dont care for that nevermind with this. On the other hand, if you are a coffee fanatic, try this!
