Vintage 2005, bottle number 76 and I had it at our pubcrawl in Göteborg in Delirium Cafe in July 07. It come with no label except from a tar impregnated and smelling piece of rope - a very nice detail! It’s pitch black with a creamy head. The aroma has loads of roasted malt and chocolate, but also coffee and wood. The mouthfeel is oily and the flavour is full and harmonic. It has loads of chocolate, coffee and licorice, hints of tar and oak. The balance between sweetness and bitterness is just right. A great one indeed! 2398

Aug 10, 2008 A Mes rate: Bottle at Chris O’s Pre GBBF Tasting
2005 version for what it is worth. Black body with a really good tan head. Lovely chocolate malt, slight soy, decent coffee and fairly aggressive bitter hoppage. A little bit raw, rather a lot of alcohol showing and slight oxidisation. Good stuff but the rawness lets it down a bit.

Aug 7, 2008 Bottled (tusen tack Anders!!!). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is licorice, oak, some vanilla and bunch of nuts. Also chocolate and some mild roasted notes. Flavour is much the same along with some caramel and mild buttery notes.

Aug 4, 2008 Bottle at Chris_o Pre GBBF Shindig 08. Thanks Anders. A pretty good choccy porter. I quite liked it. A little on the plain side maybe after tasting the Hel and Veldoemenis, but it was a solid porter that ticked all the boxes and left me with a smile on my face. Even though I needed Fonefan to write the name of it down in my notebook as I had no idea what it was.
