COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Well known card play throughout the globe, famous black Swedish condom on the other hand, and now a Porter brewed for Jack Pano at Belgobaren. ""MOTVERKAR TRISTESS"" is Swedish for ""Prevent boredom"". After a lot of development trials, some even with the whole Monks crew next to the kettles, we finally launched this Porter aged on oak. Jack will happily propose this ale to friends, relatives, family & clients...

NosirIwont (1537) - Aalborg Vestby, DENMARK - FEB 19, 2011
Bottle. Thanks to Enjoyit. Pours a dark, murky brown with a small beige/light brown head. Aroma is tart and overly sweet; sweet liquorice and vanilla. Okay as such, but feels cloying and a bit unbalanced. Flavour is the same. Dusty, roasted finish with smoked/ashtray notes. Acidic and oily palate. Overall the tartness loosens up the heavy sweetness, but it still feels unbalanced. 17.02.11.

imdownthepub (7171) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - JAN 18, 2011
Bottled, 330ml, one of my anniversary beers from Sandra sourced by Fin, thank you. Dark brown to black with tan brown head. Rich fruity, tartish aroma on opening leading to a heavy, sweetish beer. There is a molasses taste, thick, burnt, with liquorice and a sour cherry character. The finish is long and rich. A very interesting beer, just the thing for curling up in front of the fire.
