2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Keg @ knott. Aroma of coffee and hops slightly tangy taste with hops and caramel slight coffee flavour with a little sourness. Average.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle / Beermoth. Lingering burnt finish. Malty, acidic but lacks balance, depth and sweet notes. Not an endearing or particularly enjoyable porter.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
33 cl bottle @ lusikka, BBE 30.09.2013
Somewhat light and slightly sour aroma with malty notes, some cocoa and roastiness. Flavour is tart and sourish with woody notes, some roastiness and lactic acid. Contaminated but not a total disaster though.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330ml bottle from Ales by Mail
Pours dark brown, almost black with a smooth white head. Aroma of roasted malts, vegetables, hints of cold coffee. Taste is roasty with notes of vegetables, hints of tart berries, coffee and ash. Finish is roasty and sweetish with hints of licorice and coffee. Okay, a bit unbalanced porter.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
330 ml bottle.
Gusher. Pours a black colour with a large foamy head. Aroma of chocolate, tart berries, coffee and hay. Flavour of roasted malts, chocolate, strong tart berries, grass and strong hay notes. Light bodied, massive carbonation and a foamy, slightly roasty, tart finish. Unclean and messy with way too high carbonation. Something is definitely off here.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
330ml bottle. Dark brown colour with average, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Dark malty aroma with hints of chocolate and dark fruit. Taste is minimally sweet dark malty, notes of dark fruit, blueberry, blackcurrant, hints of dark chocolate, dry, roasty finish; relatively lively carbonation. Good.
1.1 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Acidic aroma. Decent colour and head. Flavour is a total mess, acrid bitterness and over-the-top coffee notes. Far too much going on and not blended well at all. Unpleasant bitter finish. Classic example of trying too hard. very poor.
