Oct 20, 2007 Bottle. Trappist glass, (should have used stem glass). Dark brown with mahogeny color and rich head. Mildly roasted malt and sour fruit aroma. Flavor reveals roasted chocolate, coffee, and sour Kriek with a slighty roasted bitter finish. Soft mouthfeel, but thin to medium body. Easy to drink.

Oct 19, 2007 Funky 50 cl. flask pours a dark brown fluid with a light brown head. Nice grassy burnt hop bud smell with roasted malts. Light to medium bodied with a watery mouthfeel. The taste is of lightly toasted grains with a tapioca pudding sweetness. Has a mildly bitter burnt grain finish.
Pretty weak for a Porter.

Oct 16, 2007 Bottled. Poured perhaps a share darker than medium brown with a loose off-white head that doesn’t stick around for long. The aroma picked up lightly-roasted semi-sweet chocolates and darker fruits with a mild hit of char and some herbal notes.. quite sweet overall, but I liked it. The flavor held serve with a sweet chocolate and dark fruity base and light coffee and herbal bitterness at the sides.. drier chocolate and lighly-roasted coffee stick on the finish. Medium-bodied with a decent feel.. wish it wasn’t so sweet (started OK, but lost its appeal after a short while). Good stuff.

Oct 8, 2007 Pours very dark red, smallish head. Robust chocolate aroma...reminds me of Young’s DCS. Flavor is pretty nice, some chocolate and caramel flavors. Mouthfeel is dissapointingly thin - almost watery. Crank up the body and this could be very nice, but as it is - a fine beer nonetheless.

Oct 7, 2007 Dark brown in color with a large tan head. Hints of chocolate and caramel. Not overly complex and surprisingly light and thin, but overall an excellent, easy-drinking porter.

Oct 1, 2007 Unique 50cL bottle. Pours a clear dark brown, almost opaque. The aroma reminded me of incense? Flavor starts with nice roasted coffee and then finishes with a good burnt bitterness. Enjoyable porter.
