Lots of creamy tan head on this dark dark pour. Chocolate and coffee aromas. Flavors were similar with some burnt malt flavor and a decent hoppy finish. Very tasty. stouby (1948), Holbaek, Denmark

Black pour, moderate tan head, some lacing and retention. Aroma is typical porter - chocolate, coffee, roast, caramel, moderate to low hops. Medium to light body, fairly dry. Not bad. altonbrownd (1930), Amsterdam, Netherlands
