Apr 26, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Total Wine. Cola-like pour; dark brown to black with mild carbonation for a 1/2 inch off-white head. Sweet and dark fruit aromas; not at all the roasted aromas I usually get in a good porter. The flavor however is a very good balance of strong roasted malt and light hops. A good, solid porter.

Apr 25, 2009 Bottle poured into an english pint glass. Enormous pillowy tan head quickly dissipated, leaving great lacing atop dark brown/black porter.
Aroma dominated by heavily roasted malt. Flavor matches with extra-strong chocolate and coffee notes. Smooth texture, but with a bit of oiliness.

Apr 23, 2009 Deep brown / black. Not transparent.Well carbonated, brown head settles quickly.
Fruity aroma.
Medium body, thick at the end, fizzy.
Not sweet, quite bitter, hints of liquorice. Long dry-bitter finish indeed. Some alcohol at the very end.
Interesting, but too bitter and dry for me.
BJCP would probably classify this as a Robust Porter.
Purchased for 14dkr in Metro Glostrup.

Apr 19, 2009 Imported bottle - thanks Tom! Pours a deep brown-tinted black with a large beige head, nose of malt, a little mocha, dried dates, a bit appley. On the palate it’s roasty, bitter-hoppy, there’s notes of strong dark cocoa and under it all a hint of port. Dry and full bodied with a long dry-bitter finish.

Apr 15, 2009 Poured from 22 oz. Dark brown, almost black, with huge frothy head. Mild nose of hops, malt, chocolate. Tastes of chocolate malt and hops coming through. Tasted better as it warmed up, with a nice dry finish. Overall very good.

Apr 15, 2009 Bottle. SOLID. Especially for something I can get all the time. Black Body, tan head. Smoked malty smell, almost a saltiness to it. Taste has coffee and licorice notes, but is also malty and sweet. Awesome.
