A black beer with a chocolate brown head. The aroma is of chocolate and coffee. While the flavor is sour with notes of coffee leading up to a dry end. But the body is unfortunately thin. Thanks Mike for trading this one with Jeppe.

Very black - nearly intransparent. Nicely softly malty, and full bodied. Very roasty, salty with notes of dark chocolate. Well balanced with a bitter finish. This is an outstanding porter!

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Vintage 2004. Pours opaque black with a small, light brown head. Vinous, delicios aroma with dried fruits and some burned malt. Medium body with hard roasted malt notes, a little metal and ashes but also pleasant rounded notes of dried fruit. Dry finish with a discreet malt bitterness. 120308

Blackened cherrywood colour with a finger of foam; though hampered by a cold I’ve got some good quality roast grains in the aroma, some black rye bread, wood, vanilla and a little bit of cocoa. Palate-wise this is smooth, sweet, and filling - the body is rich enough to carry through. Sweet malts, demerara, and chocolate chip cookie dough lead the way, but the beer turns drier, roastier, and hoppier in the finish. I love the way the two elements are balanced off of each other. Very enjoyable - a winter beer that you can drink in quantity. Thanks to Jeffrey at Esprit for calling in the favours to bring this to Toronto.

Bottled. Black colour with a beige head. Extremely complex aroma of coffee, grass, hops and chocolate. Flavour of chocolate, coffee and grass. Thanks Ivan for sharing.
