Bottle at home. Aroma of nuts, chocolate, roasted dark malt, some coffee. Flavour is moderate sweet with a moderate roasty bitter finish. Body is medium, a bit lighter than I expected. Nice easy drink, delivers on the nuts & chocolate promise.

16 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a clear, dark cherry cola color with a large beige head and great retention. Great lacing too. Milk chocolate aroma. Milk chocolate and dark malt flavor too, with a darker, bitter chocolate dry finish. Only a hint of hazelnut flavor. Nice balance of sweet and bitter chocolate flavors. Medium-heavy, creamy mouthfeel. Low carbonation. Light bitterness. Very good and smooth. The 7.0% ABV is well hidden.

Bottled. Deep brown, close to black colour with a mediumsized beigeish brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, some nutty notes as well as mild toffee and wood. Flavour is chocolate, nutty, mild ripe fruits, some sweet malts and toffee as well as mild wooden and slight ashiness in the finish. Good sipper.

I really thought I rated this one before. Big pounder can from my daughter's fridge in Cary. Snuck it from a 4 pack. Smell is mild chocolate. Look is big and nearly black. Taste makes me think of nutella with a little alky kick, mid you, I'm not a filbert nutella fan. Getting some burnt campfire wood down inside of this stuff. A little bit of astingent bitter bite starts to rise up in the middle of the can. Though I think nutella, I can't really pick out true filberts in this, iits more sweet of sorta. Can't really detect lots of alky in this till a little euphoria sets in at the end. Not bad overall but I probably would drink another can of this, its a little cloying and sticky on the finish and the carbonation diminishes in conclusion. Only thing that resembles porter is the slight burnt wet damp old campfire feeling you get deep down inside once past the nutella thing.

Can ordered from Malt Miller, Swindon. Aroma is sweet and creamy - hazelnut and chocolate = praline. Dark and glossy. Foamy beige head. Medium bitter. Chocolate and coffee with a nutty streak. Bitterness amps up into the finish with a hint of dark berries. Peripheral burnt caramel throughout. Light-medium bodied. Thin but creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Nutty, man.

Can. Black body under a dense tan head. Nice, strong aroma of dark malt, chocolate and hazelnut. Taste is sweet but not unbalanced sweet, dark malt, nut cream and chocolate. Fine body and same aftertaste. Sure a nice one, but not much going on really besides the obvious, like confectionery.
