A clear brown beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is dominated by chocolate and coffee and is quite sweet. The flavor is sweet with notes of chocolate and roasted malt. A very delicious beer.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Very dark and pretty with a warm, reddish hue. Creamy, dense head and a nose full of roasted malt. Flavour of roasted malt, but not sharp, bitter or burned - this is surprisingly sweet with notes of chocolate. Very high drinkability and accessibility, with strong flavours in spite of a rather light body. 181005

<i>Bottled, thanks SpringsLicker!</i><br /> Very dark brown, firm creamy beige head. Roasty, coffee aroma. Dry and earthy, rich on choclate. Medium bodied. Hoppy and lightly citric with pleasant, soft, bitter finish. A clean and very classic porter.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours dark brown to black with a lacing off-white head. Roasted malt, chocolate and hops in an almost perfect blend. Flavour is smooth roasted malt with a mild hops note. Finish is lingering roasted malt, chocolate and mild hoppy with a light bitterness. Very easy to drink and with a nice composition.

Definitely one of the world’s best porters. Not as hoppy as Palvasalmi, not as malty as Fuller’s. Just beautifully balanced.
