Bottled. Opaque, brown head. Roasted malts in aroma, some chocolate and coffee. Bitter flavour with some sweetness, coffee notes become more obvious. Lasting bitter finish. Creamy texture. Alcohol remains unnoticed. Nice beer, but more easy drinking than obviously complex.

Toasted malt nose, dark brown color, sticky tan head. Chocolate tastes, smokey at times, woody in the middle. Charcoal end. Medium body. Rustic, but quite enjoyable.

Sample at the Hopsnobbery Collective Porter tasting on 12/4/08: This brew is a solid brownish-black color with a medium thin and rocky light brown head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of smoked malt and dark chocolate plus a touch of coffee. Medium, round body with flavors of roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate and raisins. Light smoky character throughout. The finish is soft and roasty with a mocha aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

[2nd Low Countries RateBeer meeting] Aroma of roasted coffee malts with some black currant fruitiness. Black coloured with a medium, brown head. Taste is quite smooth. Roasted coffee malt, some fruit and sweetness. Slightly dry. Well balanced taste. Very nice.

Rating #1800! Bottle from Premier Gourmet in Buffalo. Thanks to rudy for picking it up for me. Deep ruby-brown with a moderate tan head. Big, roasty aroma with notes of coffee, bitter cocoa, burnt sugar and oak.Slightly thin mouthfeel, but appropriate for the style. Fantastic flavour of dark chocolate, malted milk and slightly over-roasted coffee, with a lactic twinge and some alcohol warmth in the moderately dry finish. A bit strong perhaps, but pretty fine otherwise.

Strongggg, dam these danes (Ungstup & Sk8viking). Walked out of the place in a mess only to bup into Mabbsy and Calver in the lobby of the hotel on their way out to cause hell. I didn’t make for a very pretty next morning in the office at 7am. Dooh.
