A dark red-brown beer with a fine dense light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and malt. The flavor is roasted with hints of yeast and a dry finish - a nice beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Dark - but far from black - closer to mahogany. Dry and rather full body with a distinct and lasting bitterness. Decent all right. 191101

50 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a lacing tan head. Overripe fruit and malt aroma. Medium sweet fruity flavour with a good malt base. Sweet malt and light fruity note into the finish. Well brewed yet not interesting imho.

Bottled. Clear brown coloured with a beige head. Aroma of malts with roasted notes. Sweet fruity flavour with roasted notes and notes of dish washer. Porter ?

Color is light for a porter -- dark reddish-brown body with dull-tan head. Sweetish chocolate malt aroma. Flavor is moderately sweet and malty, with chocolate, vinous and slight plum elements. Once it warms, the aftertaste has a mild roastiness. Slightly watery. It might be according to a traditional recipe, but that doesn’t mean it’s as good as the porters of today.
