May 7, 2008 Pours dark brown with large light tan head that lasts forever. Aroma is sweet with caramel. Flavor is roasted and sweet and goes down real smooth. This is different than other porters I’ve had. Rich but smooth, it makes you want to drink more.

May 7, 2008 Had on draft, poured dark red to black with tan head. Aroma is sweet with sugar and chocolate. Flavor was sweet with notes of coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Creamy mouthfeel. Enjoyable to sweet to have more than one or two.

May 5, 2008 Bottle from Systembolaget. In the new world of monster ABV porters, this is a great example of a more drink-friendly beer. Lovely burnt sugar and coffee nose. However slightly too sugary sweet for my taste, with an oil-slick mouthfeel. Very rich beer considering the strength.

May 2, 2008 Bottle. Very sweet aroma, like honey. Caramel like taste. Nice head/head retention. Nice dark brown/black color. Very well balanced. Perhaps a little flat tasting.
Bananamaniac (35), Kristinehamn, Sweden
May 2, 2008 Bottle 35,5 cl. Nice porter, much better than other porters I have drinked. Not much to say though, roasted flavours with some smokiness. Good!
VitaminR (421), Colorado, USA
May 1, 2008 Chocolate syrup and mocha (coffee bean) nose. Black with a hint of crimson. Huge long lasting head. Very understated roasted coffee dark chocolate sweetness, just enough hops to balance. Full mouth feel, good carbonation, with a mellow bittersweet chocolate finish. An excellent Porter.

May 1, 2008 Sampled after our mvp tasting session consisting of some serious beers. So my palate was pretty pwn3d. Poured nice, but not the best porter if had. Will rerate eventually.
mybestfriend (261), Gothenburg, Sweden
Apr 29, 2008 Bottle, 35.5 cl. Pours a black colour with a pale brown head. Aroma is roasted with notes of coffee beans and chocolate (both sweet milk chocolate and darker and more bitter chocolate). Flavour is quite sour-sweet and roasted with notes of coffee beans, sweet milk chocolate, tart unripe blackcurrants. Dark bitter chocolate in the finish. A quite straightforward porter. At 16 Swedish kronors (~2.60 USD) a bottle this is a great QPR!
