Oct 11, 2008 Bottle at Orsted Olbarog. Deep brown, thin beige head. Choc aroma. Plainish choc porter. It’s ok, not that exciting. Just a normal choccy porter.

Oct 10, 2008 Not a bad beer - I liked the chocolate and coffee flavor - nice aftertaste. All around good beer - better than many of the portors that I have tried. Simple but tasty.

Oct 7, 2008 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Dark brown with ring head and lace. Sweet chocolate aroma. Sweet mild chocolate flavor. Hops seem to have faded away due to lack of freshness. Just checked date code. Best before June/July 2004. Nice. Well, extra points for having a date. Wish I had looked before I bought. Are the distributors supposed to get this stuff off the shelves?

Oct 2, 2008 Everything about this porter was just kind of normal. It had a good dark color with brown head and a simple chocolate flavor to it.
