The clue’s in the name. Pours dark, no head at all after a couple of seconds. Aroma after pouring a bit unpleasant at first, but dissipates to a light roasty aroma. Lacks body, and despite big coffee flavours, modest sweetness and an good balance comes across as a bit thin. Long dry finish with lingering coffee flavour.

Dark black appearance. Coffee aroma....get small head. Slight bitterness, but very good coffee/cocoa flavor. Light (viscosity) enough to have with food.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20 Christiano209 (3) - Keyes, California, USA - JAN 30, 2012 does not count
A- jet black, a hint of brown on the edges is apparent only when held to the light, head is a bubble tan that leaves rings of lacing along the glass.
S- coffee, dark chocolate, roasted malts, bready with a hint of nuts.
T- java, bitter dark chocolate that hangs around after the taste, almost like that grapefruit bitterness from cascade hops
O- it’s an okay porter, I’ve definatly had better. I must say I was somewhat disappointed, which rogue leaves me feeling most of the time... plus the 10.99/6 pack made the blow that much worse.

Very smooth, drinkable without any harsh resin. Finish is smooth, a very enjoyable light porter. Quaff Score ( drinkability especially with hearty enjoyment ) 7 / 10

Mörk, nästan svart öl med lusbrunt skum. Doft av rostad malt, nötter och antydan av tallbarr. Kaffetoner och en påtaglig bitterhet, lite lakrits. En helt okej porter.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 Adenila (1386) - DENMARK - JAN 21, 2012
Brown with a small light brown head. Aroma is all coffee and roasted malts, overall quite light though. Heavy roasted bitter flavor, light sourness and quite fresh and wellbalanced.
