En herlig duft av humle, malt og karamell, noe søtlig lukt. Dyp mørk på farge. Et hav av smak. NB bør ikke servers for kald.

#900. Bottle. Pours cloudy dark brown with stable tan head. Dark aroma of caramel and malt with a touch of coffee beans. Sweetish, malty flavour with touches of caramel and subtle notes of dried fruit and roasted coffee. Pleasant dry finish. Wel- balanced and really decent.

Snegurochka (320) - Tromsø, NORWAY - MAY 22, 2013
bottle kindly shared by Rune. Thanks! Stylish and classic bottle. Pours a black-brown with an average head. Dark chocolate, roasted malt and cake aroma. A bit thin for a porter, but the taste is good; coffe, liqurice, tobacco, malty and sweet notes, hints of roasted chestnuts. (14.04.10 @Rating Session IX)

Jado (279) - Camp Hill, AUSTRALIA - MAY 14, 2013
From pint bottle, it pours a deep brown with some lighter red-brown highlights at the edges and a thin but persistent cappuccino coloured head. Aromas of dark fruit, coffee, roasted malt, a little chocolate and a touch of cherry. Taste is dominated by some big fruit flavours of raisins, currants, orange peel before some milk coffee and chocolate kick in. The high point is a smooth, creamy mouth feel that’s just awesome. Really nice English porter.

Pours black with a nice brown foam. Leaves nice lacing as I drink. Good aroma full of roasted malts and some oats. Malty taste with a slight bitterness at the end. Nice full mouthfeel. Finishes clean. Very nice representation of a porter!
