Mar 22, 2007 Dark ruby ale, fine balance between sweetness and bitterness. A bit lightweight, but quite pleasant.

Mar 18, 2007 500ml bottle - pour was very dark for a porter, deep brown with some mahogany highlights, head was coffee colored and held up for about 20 minutes while i let the glass sit on the table. aroma was very appealing. lots of chocolate, and a sweetness that i couldnt nail down until i read the description and saw the "black cherry" and easily mated the smell to the fruit. nice thin body, exactly what i want in a porter. flavor is cold coffee with some sweet chocolate, hints of vanilla and licorice. a little hoppy on the tail, but nothing detracting, and the coffee makes a renewed statement in the aftertasete.

Mar 12, 2007 Bottle. Deep ruby red-brown (almost black), thin shortlived beige head and gentle condition. Spicy coffee, sweet liquorice and some smoky roastiness in the nose, thin and earthy bitterness in the mouth with some roasted barley and a touch of coffee, harsh dry roasted bitterness in the finish with a slightly buttery edge.

Maria (6056), Thisted, Denmark
Feb 18, 2007 Black/brown with a huge, creamy head. The aroma is slightly sour with notes of roasted malt. The flavour also has the sourness and the roasted malt notes plus notes of dark chocolate and coffee, that is very nice in the long finish. It’s a mild and nice porter.
Rune (2760), Tromsø, Norway
Feb 17, 2007 Bottle from Utobeer. Bottleconditioned. Dark brown-tinged body under a thin brownish head. Roasted smell. Dark chocolate and mild coffee with a touch of cocoa flavour. Thin to medium palate (shared with Magne and CinnamonGirl, 03.02.2007).
sayravai (3720), Helsinki, Finland
Feb 14, 2007 (Cask@St.Urhos) Very dark reddish brown with a medium, bubbly-foamy, tanned and long-lasting head. Mild aroma of sourish-vegetably malt. Sour, medicinal and sulphury flavor with berries, herbs, and hints of licorice. Some roasted maltiness, too, with ashes in the aftertaste. Medium-bodied, soft-carbonated, slightly sour and ashy palate. A not very clean porter, and quite unbalanced scorewise.

Feb 10, 2007 Thin, mild, slightly sweet, slightly roasty, slightly everything. Except for the head. That was huge and lasting.
