Commercial Description:
Bottle: Filtered.
A rich dark ale, dominated by the strong flavours of blended roast malts that are the foundation of this beer. Smooth coffee and chocolate undertones are complemented by the addition of late harvest cone hops, giving a lovely blackcurrant aroma.

Dark red colored, little light brown head. Strongly licoricy and chocolaty aroma with cream, some smoke and vanilla, excellent aroma. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is more dry with roastiness and chocolate, also this smoky touch here, Sligthly watery palate, aftertaste dries strongy.

Appearance: Black with reddish tones. Medium head, consistent, beige and persistent. Aroma: faithful to the style, intense toasting, sweet tones of liquor of coffee and cocoa. Reminiscences of plum (acidity), coffee of grain and bitter chocolate. Flavor: powerful toasting, chocolate, coffee of grain. low hoppy. Touch of liquor and wine. Palate: dry final of the toasting, velvet, medium body with oily texture. low-medium carbonation. (Sorry for my English)

Almost jet black beer with a thin lasting head, aroma is sweet and fruit-ily roasty. Taste is mellow but roasted, overall a nice easy drinking Porter.

Black body with a medium tan head. Shy dark chocolate, coffee beans and figs on the nose. Light body (but not watery) and soft carbonation with a very soft attack of darkened malts and figs. Evolving fruity flavours with the finish leaving a figs/dates after-taste. Almost no hops presence. Good but not very tasty. Everything about this little porter is very nice but also very restrained. Like a lazy talented football player this beer could have been a black superstar has it shown more intensity.

Black/brown with a weak head. The aroma has notes of coffee and licorice, and the flavour is nice even if it’s mild and thin, it has light notes of chocolate, licorice and coffee and the finish is lightly bitter.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a clear, dark brown with an orange hue. Tiny, off-white head. Aroma is one of hard roasted malt. Light body with malty, lightly burned coffee accents. Dry and very drinkable with a subdued bitterness. 140107
