This was pretty much like a chocolate stout for me, with some characteristics of a porter as well. Super-dark black appearance, but not thick and heavy. Roasty, chocolate malty, coffee flavors, but just the right balance of hops at the end. There are a lot of similar beers that this reminds me of, so hard to describe or pinpoint how this is different....but I'd say it's a very good overall beer that is worth trying.

33cl bottle at home. Pours a pitch black cour with a medium frothy to creamy brown colour. Aroma of roasted malt, carafa malt, caramel, slight spices, slight vanilla. Taste is moderate sweet, medium bitter with a moderate dry finish. Notes of roasted malt, dark malt, leather, tobacco, chocolate, cacao. Texture is oily, medium to light bodied with moderate carbonation

330 ml bottle,bb 09/2019. Very dark brown/black,beige head. Nose - malts,cocoa, bit of coffee,earth and in the deepest background something I'd describe as the slurry. Taste - malts,dark chocolate,bitter.

UPDATED: MAR 23, 2018 Bottle bought from Waitrose. This is possibly the best porter I've had its rich and smooth

11.5 ounce can at home. Super dark brown with half inch tan head. Smell of malt, faint coffee aromas. Tastes very malty and some bakers chocolate in the taste. Strong tasting and mostly smooth with malt and some alcohol notes in the after taste. Not sweet like some porters. This is very nice beer for style. Cheers!

Full bodied, deep black appearance, strong roasted aroma and a gorgeous flavour with the strong roasted flavour quickly being followed by the intense sweetness of the chocolate. Rich but not cloying, smooth, and doesn't outstay its welcome.

UPDATED: MAR 3, 2018 Can. Black beer with light brown head, lacing around glass. Aroma of liquorice and black currents. Taste is wonderful; definite fruit in there - prunes and black currents. Some bitter chocolate and coffee too. Lots going on! Lovely silky mouthfeel. Long bitter finish. Top notch beer.

0.33 l can, thanks to my family for this. Pours jet black with thin, long lasting beige head. Nose is grains, chocolate, moderate coffee and some nuts. In taste there's some chocolate, nuts and grains with a subtle, but detectable hoppy touch at the end. Medium bitterish finish, soft carbo and light, smooth body. An easy-to-drink beer that's full of flavours, good one!
