Feb 24, 2008 Bottled, courtesy of omhper. Pours out in a clear dark reddish brown appearance with a low tan-coloured head. Plenty of roasted malts in the aroma with touches of crackers, coffee beans, nuts and cocoa. Weaker flavour of cocoa, nuts and bland coffee. medium-bodied. Cocoa powder and nuts in the aftertaste that could linger a bit longer. Nice aroma but the flavour doesn’t lives up to it.

Dec 12, 2007 Bottle courtesy of mgermani: Poured a deep black color porter with a small dirty brown foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with some bitterness and light notes of black chocolate with some coffee. Taste is a mix between some light bitter notes from roasted malt with some notes of black chocolate and coffee. Body is a bit thin for the style with some average carbonation.

Nov 7, 2007 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Smells smoky with lots of dark malt texture and some fruity elements. Tastes of pepper, some coffee, hints of roastiness and an underlying bitterness. Mouthfeel is on the thin side. Finish yields a weird aftertaste that can best be described as chewable aspirin. Not a fan of this one.
