Commercial Description:
Ballast Point Black Marlin Porter is a rich dark chocolaty Porter with a distinctive American hop character. It is nitrogen dispensed which gives it a creamy texture, thick head and a balanced flavor that is reminiscent of traditional British cask conditioned ales. It is a great beer to go with hearty foods and is surprisingly one of the few beers that goes well with dessert.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted with strong notes of chocolate as well as over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet roasted with notes of cocoa beans combined with a slight acidity from the hard roasted malt. Thanks David (Rastacouere) for dragging this to Denmark.

Bottled (at some pub during the pub crawls in Copenhagen (Maybe Örsted?)). Very deep ambery brown colour with mediumsized beigeish brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, some smoked wood, quite strong roasted coffee as well as some mild caramel malty notes. Mild fruityness also lurking. Flavour is quite much the same in a rather big way, even though in a good balance. Has some late hoppyness. Quite dry.
