Big fruit and roast aromas. Black hoppy and strong in alcohol woth a little dryness in a crisp and bitter roast finish.

Oct 27, 2009 Tap @ brasserie420
Compact foam that seems pulled with nitrogen but isn’t!
A bit yeasty but one of the first pints of a new just-agitated keg. So i’m sure it’ll clarify with time. The foam is surely long lasting. Tipical creamy, roasted robust porter nose with a scent of black olives.
On the palate licorice and earthy notes with a well established burnt and resiny bitter. Black olives as well.
A bit of CSA as the Smuttynose IPA tasted earlier, but still not too strong to bother.
Nice silky body, tapped well with the right amount of co2. Overall an easy drinking balanced beer.

Oct 27, 2009 Tap at Beer Temple, Amsterdam. Black coloured, medium sized brown head, roasted coffee in the nose. Roasted malt, coffee and chocolate with notes of dried fruits and hops. Smooth, mild carbonation and bitter finish. Not so Robust but still good porter.

Oct 24, 2009 12 ounce bottle. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours dark brown with a half inch brown head. Head retention and lacing are both good. Aroma is nice, it smells like roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate, coffee, and some molasses. The taste is similar to the aroma, it tastes like coffee, bittersweet chocolate, burnt malt/smoke and roasted malt. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s creamy and silky with good carbonation. Drinkability is good, it’s smooth and easy to drink. This porter lives up to its name, it is quite robust and enjoyable. I’d definitely buy this again the next time I get a chance to.
