Nov 7, 2009 50cl bottle. Dark ruby, nearly black, tight small latte head. Metallic, sweet vanilla sugary nose, little old raisins later on. Flavor has mild lactose, burned malt, some coal, no hops, clean but bland. Light bodied, slightly low soft carbonation. I just kept wondering how one could use 14 different malts, and have this taste-free beer?

Oct 30, 2009 Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Dark brown with red highlights. Pours large frothy head that recedes to a thin line but leaves very sticky lacy.
Aroma of chocolate, molasses, dark fruit, coffee and slight nuttiness. Smells stale, but in a good musty way.
Mild yet complex, with notes of chocolate, musty earthiness, plum, nuts and coffee. Ends just ever-so-slightly bitter with roasted malts and English hops.
Despite being relatively light, it has a smooth, almost creamy body. Low carbonation.
Fantastic session beer when malts are desired.

Oct 3, 2009 Bottle from BOM club. Dark brown/ black with thin tan lacing like foam on the beach. Aroma is roasted malt and coffee. Seems like sour coffee dominates the flavor; some roasted something-or-other. Body is medium-light. Crisp and dry, little bitterness lingers.

Oct 3, 2009 Bottle via Bonster in trade. What a gal. Pours a deep brown with little head. very little carbonation. Light nose of acorns and walnuts. Body is medium minus and has a distinct malt tang as it enteres its slick finish. Overall a mild porter that is unpretentiosus and reserved. Tanks Bon.
