Commercial Description:
Four different malted barleys combine to create a distinctive, full-bodied beer with a roasted nuttiness, uniquely enhanced by a hint of hazelnuts. Smooth and creamy with the nose of the Willamette hop, this porter is a beer style unto itself.

Shared with Barrios and Curly before going to play disc golf. Very dark brown pour with mahogany highlights and fading light tan head. Great nutty aroma with chocolate and toffee. Flavor is nice and roasty, slight metallic twinge, and some diacetyl. Lingering roast bitterness. Overall, a pretty good porter.

Tap:>/b> Dark brown with not much head. Nice choco-malty aroma with a fairly sturdy flavor. I tasted a little sweetness with the typical roasted, charcoal flavors of a porter. Nice feel.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm, 14 April 2008) Dark brown colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty nose with hazelnuts and chocolate. Malty, nutty taste with notes of hazelnuts, chocolate and a decent cocoa bitterness in the finish. Not really complex but the nicely balanced hazelnut touch makes it quite enjoyable.

On Cask at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours up deep dark brown with infra red edges and firm lasting tan head. The aroma is mild with roastiness, faint caramel, faint burnt malts and a touch of oxidation. The taste is similar with roasted to burnt malts, mild oxidation and mild chocolate malt goodness. The finish the beer becomes toastier and roasty. Nice roasty offering. A bit on the bold side for a Porter which is to my liking.

Dark brown with large beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, chocolate and caramel. Sweet flavour with roasted malt, chocolate and a somewhat dry hoppy finish.

Very strange smell, at first almost disgusting but then the smell of hazelnut. Taste like hazelnut, slightly watery.

Bottle was shared by JK. Pours a dark brown and a thin head when served above 40 degrees. Aroma is of coffee, hazelnuts and vanilla. Taste of nutty chocolate, green apples and roasted barley malt. A dry finish with a little alcohol kick. Interesting.
