Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal pane nero e dal caffè. La finezza olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il colore è nero come la pece. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in buona armonia con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca, pane tostato e fiori.

Аромат не слишком сильный, очень солодый, неплохая и приятная жженочка основанная на кофе, намеки на легкую ваниль. Цвет темный, но видно что текстура не такая глубокая как хотелось бы, пена те но кремовая, на удивление очень стойкая. Вкус как и я и думал оказался питким, в начале хорошие нотки кофейных зерен, легкие травянистые нотки при глотке, шоколадная кислинка. Послевкусие слегка пустоватое, но все же хмелевая горчинка есть, она весьма выверенная, намек также на древесные нотки. В целом, на удивление, хороший питкий портер.

Dark brown pour with a lasting tan head; aroma is herbs and hops at first, then cocoa/chocolate, roasted malt and milk/cream. Taste is pretty similar - decent, slightly bitter finish.
