Aroma has mild smokiness, a touch of cherry, and gentle cocoa. Flavour has lightly sweet cherries, gentle smokiness, toasted malt, and a hint of cocoa. Nice malt base that serves up the cherry and smoke nicely. Very good.

Bottle from Beerdome. Roasted malt with mild smoke, oak chips, dark chocolate, caramel. Moderate bittersweet flavour. Good Porter, but I wished for more smoke.

33cl bottle bought at the brewery. Pours dark mahogany coloured with a modest, tanned head. Mild smoky aroma with roasted malt, caramel with and hints of herbs. Medium sweet with medium flavour intensity and quite balanced bitterness. Quite tasty and enjoyable.

Opaque colour, small beige head. Smoke and some tart cherries in the nose, even wood. Medium-bodied. Smooth palate. Smoke, toasted malts, sweetish fruityness, even hints of candy. Not maybe my absolute favourite mix but interesting and well-brewed.
