(Bottled) Very dark brown with a medium, creamy-lacy head. Slight milky sourness in the aroma with sweetish malt and roastiness. Nicely roasty, milky-sour, not burned flavor with mild bitterness, and a dry finish. Almost medium body with smooth carbonation. A balanced and enjoyable stout with pleasantly low ABV.

Jul 20, 2008 Draught @ brewpub. Almost black, small espresso head. Nice coffee, chocolate and liquorice ice-cream on the nose. Burned malty flavor, dry coffee, herbal hops. Mouthfeel is a bit too thin. Simple, but enjoyable porter.

May 28, 2008 50 cl bottle, via papsoe. Pours a dark brown body with a small tight bubbled light brown head. Nice lacing remained. The nose is pretty unique, there’s some tobacco, licorice, and maybe a touch of oxidation that accompanies the usual characters of roast and coffee. The flavor is much thinner than I’d like, there’s a watery quality to it that carries thru in all aspects. Fairly dry, with lots of roasted malt and to a lesser extent chocolate up front. Fades to a coffee and light licorice laced finish. The finish is rather short, reinforcing the watery quality of it. Overall, this was certainly drinkable, but this could us to be a little more beefed up.
