Jun 27, 2007 500 ml bottle. Pitch black. Rich cocoa aroma. Lots of roasted malt character. Nicely rounded flavours and very mellow as there is is little carbonation. Hops are there but they hide well into the background and never come to the fore. This is a great porter. Wonderful balance and very smooth. Great drinkability.

Jul 23, 2007 (Bottle 50 cl) Pours completely opaque black with a small, beige head. Roasted aroma with some licorice. Medium body, soft and rather flat mouthfeel. Dominated by roasted malt accents, almost creamy smooth with touches of both licorice and coffee. Dry with some bitterness. Quite an intense and concentrated flavour pattern for a beer of this modest strength. 200707
