Sweet roasty aroma with milk chocoloate, caramel and rye bread. Also little bit iron there. Taste is very roasted malty with some coffee, too. Hoppy bite in the end is not bad at all. Medium mouthfeel. Very drinkable porter, but not special. asheft (1411), Marburg, Germany

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 4, 2008 EBF2008. It’s a transparent brown/black beer with a red hue and a creamy head. The aroma has notes of candy sugar, roasted malt and caramel. The flavour has sweetness and notes of roasted malt, a little chocolate, a slightly roasted, light citrussy bitterness – and IMO it’s a bit unbalanced. OleR (2069), Oslo, Norway

Pours deep red-black with a nice, creamy, small, film head. Soft aroma, chocolate, lightly roasted - though overall a bit weak. Okay mouthfeel. Flavour is a little metallic, then super dry, very roasted and pleasant hops. Good finish.
