50 cl bottle on 5/19/08. Dark brown with mahogany highlights and a large, creamy, and persistent light tan head. Inviting coffee and chocolate aroma accented with roasted nuts and a bit of earthiness. Medium to full body and light carbonation match up well with a creamy smooth mouthfeel.
Molasses sweetness subsides slowly, ultimately giving way to a gentle spicy bitterness. Wonderful balance in this fine porter. Very drinkable, highly recommended.

Oct 11, 2008 black, small but firm film of head. Aroma of roasted nuts, roasted malt, coffe beans and something you would find at a burning fireplace. Taste is a bit hoppy, with tangling carbonation. Well balanced, long aftertaste of mocca, malts and hops. Very nice example of the style

Oct 2, 2008 Good beer. My 11th a beerfest. I couldn’t find this beer booth at first. I would towel off from the pool and have a Porter with cheese and crackers.

Sep 27, 2008 Bottle at Nnudd tasting. Courtesy of Yngwie. Poured black with a medium beige head. In nose licorice and roasted malts. Medium bodied. It tastes like licorice, bitter chocolate and roasted malts. I thought it would be more complex but pretty good porter.
