Sep 20, 2006 (Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Colour is dark brown with ruby hints, small off-white head. Nose is roasted with notes of berries (blackberries, cherries), chocolate, black coffee and notes of citrussy hops. Taste is roasted with chocolate, coffee, liquorice, blackcurrant and crowberries. Some citrussy hops in the finish. Fairly dry, medium body, actually leaning slightly towards the thin side. Very nice and tasty porter.

Aug 30, 2006 (500 ml bottle from Belfast Co-op) Pours dark, but not that dark, brown with about 1" of fairly creamy biege head. Aroma of fairly mild coffee and chocolate as well as mild hops. Mouthfeel full, smooth, creamy. Sloppy spots of lacing. Flavor of coffee and chocolate, but pretty mild. A bit stronger on the coffee. Medium bitter. Has a bit of grassiness as well. Sweet/sour quality I often find in British stouts/porters also there, but mildly so. OK porter but overall flavor not really to my liking.

Jul 29, 2006 500 ml bottle, via Secret Santa PhillyBeer2112. Pours a clear dark brown with a small creamy light brown head. Not much in the way of visible carbonation. Aroma is very chocolaty and dry with a light roasted barley note. Flavor is very chocolaty with a light dry chalkiness and a bit of roast. Finish is dry and lightly bitter. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with moderate fizzy carbonation. I thought that this was a great English-style Porter. Really surprised at the relatively low overall rating. I think that this is really worth seeking out.
