Appearance is nearly black, with a small light-brown fizzy head. Aroma is lots of coffee, dark chocolate, dark malts, fudge. Taste- rich coffee, chocolate, dark toasty malt, chocolate fudge cake, tiramisu, liqueur chocolate. Quite full and clingy mouthfeel.

Draught @ Northern Monk tasting, Angleterre, Helsinki. Smooth, creamy and heavy with coffee notes, chocolate and hints of milky lactic notes. Pretty balanced.

Had this one last the expiration date, likely would've been a bit nicer otherwise. Nevertheless a really nice coffee porter, some chocolate.

Can. Nice design. Color: Almost black, thin beige head. Aroma: Coffee, mocha, roasted malt. Taste: Medium to over medium sweet, moderate bitter and very slightly sour flavor, coffee, mocha, roasted malt. Floral and vanilla hints. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Soft carbonation, medium to below medium body. Very easy drinkable. Could have had a bit more body, but otherwise no complaints. Very nice mocha Porter.

Dark brown from the can. A frothy beige crown slowly subsides. Aroma is coffee, toffee, confectionary. Taste is sweet, full of cafe mocha and dark cherry. Finishes much the same with a light uptick of roasted coffee bitterness. Body is medium, carbonation moderate to mild. Good.
