Aroma of roasted coffe, and dark, sweet fruit. The apopearance is dark brown, with a purple tinge. The flavor is roasty to be sure, but with a steady component of fruity sweetness. The surprise here is the finish, it has a nice bite from hops which didn’t make themselves evident previously. Great porter.

Bottled 50cl. It pours a pitch black beer with a full beige head. Good head retention. Some nice lacework. Sweet nose which is mainly of pumpernickel and roasted malt accompanied by grapefruit. The taste is of roasted malt, pumpernickel and rose. Sweet. Some tar and licorice showing up. Good bitterness. Nicely balanced. The finish is rather pleasant with hints of pumpernickel, grapefruit, syrup and rose. Thanks a lot larsga for this beer!

UPDATED: JUN 22, 2010 Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Dark brown/black colour, beige head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate and roasted malts, a bit musty. Flavour is bitter, roasted malts and strong coffee, some dark chocolate, slight sweetness. OK porter, but expected a bit more. 637415 Re-rate Bottle sample at stout tasting at In de Wildeman. A lot more dark and dried fruit notes, nice sweetness, chocolate. Highly enjoyable. 738416

Deep brown in color with a moderate head. The nose shows hoppy aromas of chocolate and coffee beans. In the mouth it is on the hoppy side which comes off as light-on-its-feet. I would prefer a bit more mid-palate concentration and flavor but this is well made and balanced.
