WhatDidIDrink (10), , Utah, USA Jul 13, 2008 This is a great Porter. Dark black with thick creamy tan head. The aroma is a little different leading you to expect a strong alcoholic taste. But the taste could not be smoother. Very roasty and little chocolate, but an easy drinker. austone (999), Turku; Pori, Finland Jul 13, 2008 33cl bottle. Dark opaque brown, thin beige head. Very salty nose, little liquorice, toffee and some funk even. Mildy acidic and sourish flavor, liquorice and burned malts. Almost medium bodied with low carbonation. Salty and sourish, not much else. Madsnp (611), Odense C, Denmark Jul 12, 2008 Bottle. Nearly black with a thick and foamy tan head. Aromas of coffee/roasted malt, licorice and chocolate.
