Having tried the Kaggen at GBBF 07 and then lost my notebook, it was a great pleasure to be able to have this while in Sweden. It’s an exceptional porter. Pours a pure black with little head. Aroma of chocolate and red wine with many other notes. Flavour of raisins and rich fruit cake. Palate is like liquid silk. Absolutely cracking stuff. jhagmar (114), Gothenburg, Sweden
