Bottle 50 cl. Pours completely black with a small tan head and a coffee-like roasted aroma. The taste is more like mocca than espresso, very roasted and not really smooth, but in a good way. A bit sweet, with a long bitter finish. Good, but not groundbreaking

Pours very dark w/almost a ruby tint to the top. No noticeable aroma to speak of, but finishes cleaner than say a Gonzo. Not as thick, either; a much more even palate. Just a hint of sweet at the end.

Pours a deep dark brown, near black, with little head and wisps of khaki lace. Aroma is chocolate, coffee and some roasted malts. Flavor is more of the same, but skewed a bit more towards the coffee and roast rather than the chocolate. A little on the thin side, but easy drinking and enjoyable.

Black color with not much of a head. Very roasty burnt initial smell. Tastes very toasty, cappachino, coco, roasted malt. Light medium body, sweeter finish then start. A very nice porter.

The aroma has chocolate, toasted malt, and milk. The appearance is dark brown with a tan head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. Overall it’s pretty good.

A high overall rating due to a great tasting AND very drinkable beer. The palate is its downfall, but also makes it a fantastic beer to enjoy the great taste of a fine porter without having to nurse it and think about every little sip. You can almost gulp this beer and still appreciate it. Nose of chocolate covered raisins and a hint of yeastiness. Flavor is big malts, and again, chocolate covered raisins. Let me tell you, that flavor is fantastic in a porter. Anyways, the downfall is that it is a little light on the tongue, and there is just a tiny hint of wateriness before the hops dry out the finish and round it out. A great beer but it could be a little heavier, then it would be perfect.

Bottle shared by Duane. Thanks! Black pour with almost no head. Some coffee and chocolate aromas and flavors. Some slight hops detected, but the dark malt flavors are much stronger. A bit thin and simplistic, but easy drinking.
