Can @ St. Patrick's Gone Mad, Sønderborg. Pours cloudy very dark brown with airy tan head. Clear aroma of coffee, with notes of malt and hints of yeast. Bitter, roasty, coffeelike onset, giving way to sweetish notes of lactose and yeast and touches of malt. Delicate, roasty aftertaste with estery notes. Decent.

Keg @ Station. Pours dark, small tan head. Aroma presents coffee, chunky chocolate, grainy malt. Taste continues, full flavoured with plenty of nutty, grainy dark roast balanced nicely with medium-sweet chocolate flavours. Oily smooth on the palate. Very good.

Handpump at Luppolo Station in Rome-Italy. Black pour with caramel highlights, compact brownish cap. Nose is real mocha, caramel too, macchiato, maple syrup. Mouth: green nuts, clean overall with nutty notes, sweet cocoa. It is a good porter, so clean and tasty!

On tap at Craft Room, Opatovina, Zagreb, summer of 2017. Shared with lovely Anja, Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran. Murky brown, off-white head. Nice coffee aroma, roasty, nutty, tiramisu. Sweet, nutty, lightly roasty, ash. Smooth, medium body, creamy texture. Smooth finish. Very nice, balanced, smooth, nothing stands out too much.

Can:
Pours black with a disappearing head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, salty licorice and ash. Soft mouth feel. Taste is roasted malt, coffee, fudge and chocolate leading to a somewhat harsh finish.

Thank you! 330 ml. can sampled. Black, solid mocha head. Nose is plastic bit thin almost herbal coffee, coffee is strain sweet, good beans might have been used but it comes across as bit of a cheap cup of coffee to me. Taste is weird mix of lactose cacao chocolate, overly sweet base with lower herbal overly sweet coffee, thinner than expected,… Body is overly sweet, low almost herbal coffee. Doesn’t fully work for me but nothing bad.
