Aug 26, 2007 330. Thanks, Maria! Great stuff. Pours deep dark black, nearly opaque, with a thick, moussy gray head. Sweet chocolately, anise-laden nose. Creamy medium body with firm carb and plenty of flavor: chocolate, roast, and anise all show up on the attack and persist through the mid-palate. Clean, sweetish finish. Lovely stuff.

Jul 24, 2007 500 ml bottle. One finger, quickly diminishing tan head over a muddy dark brown body. Sweet licorice and dark chocolate to the nose. Taste is well rounded with medium sweet malts, caramel and milk-chocolate. Gently hopped. Rather light-bodied with a smooth and mellow mouthfeel. Mild bitterness and malt-sweetness in the finish. Accommodating.

Jul 7, 2007 500 ml bottle, via a kind DK trader. Pours a clear mahogany brown body under a one finger foamy light brown head with excellent retention. The aroma is a cross between chocolate and nutty toasted malts with a light lactic note, some coffee and smoke as well. The flavor is quite unexpected. It starts out chocolaty and roasty but fades into a quite smokey and anice laced slightly bitter finish. This could almost pass for a Smoked beer, yet there’s no mention of smoked malt in the description. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a nice soft texture and gentle pleasant carbonation. Overall, this was quite a nice surprise. I was expecting an average Porter and got a pretty great Porter. Methinks this one is under-rated.
