gyllenbock (244), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 15, 2009 Bottle from 2007. Dark and very good looking beer, I just love the fine, large chocolate-brown foam. A lot of chocolate, coffee, roasted tones and a slight spiciness in aroma.
The taste? Coffee and chocolate but also some licorice and raisins. Pleasant aftertaste. Quite rich. A nice porter in every way. TBone (6735), Pori, Finland Oct 14, 2009 Draught@SBWF2009 vintage 2007
Dark brown color, steady brown-beige head. Sticky whisky-wood barrel and mould aroma with roasted notes. Medium-bodied, oily mouthfeel. Roasted, but with soft way, some whisky, decent. Frovigalning (404), , Sweden Oct 9, 2009 It poured a pitch black liquid with a medium sized light brown foam, that left a nice thick layer of lacing on the side of the glass.
It had a deep smell of rich dark chocolate, nuts and a hint of coffey. I also sensed some milk, I wonder if they put some lactos in this brew?
It had a very smooth mouthfeel, thick liquid that left a buttery and oily feeling in my mouth. It was semi-dry and felt really good in my mouth. Once again I got this milky feeling. It tasted of chocolate, some coffey and a hint of something burned.
It didn’t have a very heavy flavour or smell and if I have to give any critique it would be that I would have wanted some more flavour, or at least a bit more intense. But besides that a very enjoyable beer, not fantastic but still well brewed. LanceUppercut (121), Sweden Oct 5, 2009 A nose of coffee, liquorish and whiskey. Taste is of coffee, green olives and chocolate. It’s a bit smokey and roasted. This is a dry, light-bodied porter, with very little sweetness and alcohol. Elegant and very drinkable!

Delicate, dry chocolate aroma. Also a scent of mild coffee, a well rounded rostedness, dark dried fruits and vanilla. Cocoa and chocolate flavor, fairly sweet, with dark roasted malts, raisins, and a touch of acidic fruits. A gentle hop bitterness i the backbone. Supersmooth in the mouth.
