Slightly yeasty aroma of strawberry, chocolate, and fig. Very dark brown, with a medium tan head. Harmoniously well hopped. Somewhat sour with coffee and licorice notes. Coffee and cream is left on the palate.

Poured very dark brown with good sized tan frothy head. Aromas of alcohol, malt, and hops. Mouthfilling body with flavours of raisin, chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, with an earthy lingering finish on the roof of the mouth. Not the most spectacular porter out there, but definitely unique- will probably have this again.

Bottle poured into pint glass. Good porter. Poured a dark brown colour with a medium tan head. Aroma was nice with chocolate that continued into the flavour. Finished bitter/earthy tones.

Bottle. Pours deep brown with small beige head. Aroma is chocolate / malt / earthy. Taste is as aroma but a little thin, hoppy / bitter finish. Decent enough brew.

Bottle: Pours a very dark amber with minimal cream head. Dark roasted malt aroma consisting of some chocolate and licorice notes. Chocolate malt taste is very clean tasting and has a bit of an earthiness to it. Mild hop bitterness on the finish. Good brew.
