Oct 23, 2008 Pretty good porter here, definitely underrated I would say. Aroma is pretty sweet and malty, with some chocolate notes. The chocolate becomes more pronounced in the flavor, also some roasted malts, vanilla, wood, chalk and coffee. A little bit light on the palate, but till pretty creamy. Good beer.

Oct 15, 2008 (Bottle). Nice mocha chocolate aroma. Near black body, small light brown head. Tasty flavor profile of chocolate, roastiness, some coffee and light fruit. Finish is a little brief; otherwise, a solid porter.

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?
