440ml can. Pours black with a frothy beige head. Aroma of roast malts, chocolate, hints of dark fruits. Taste is very roasty, dark chocolate, dark fruit, liquorice, caramel. Very well balanced bittersweet profile, and a smooth, medium body.

Robust, portery… got that fruity thing going on. Roasty and a bit of choc. It’s nothing unusual but it is very nice.

Black beer, thick tan head. Smell is rich with toasty malt. Flavour has sweet and toasty malts, a dash of citrus, some caramel, a little chocolate. Moderately lively but rich with it. This is very nice.

Burk från SB. Opak svart vätska med högt fluffigt skum. Stor arom av rostad malt, kaffe, choklad och fudge. En mjuk rund och klassisk stor porter. Mycket gott

440ml Can - Black with a foamy tan head. Chocolate, coffee, liquorice and some slightly peppery notes in the aroma. Coffee, liquorice, blackcurrant, black treacle and chocolate can all be detected in the rather roasted taste.

Handpump @Luppolo Station (Rome). Bruna intensa, quasi impenetrabile, schiuma ecrù media. Al naso note di malto tostati, cioccolato fondente, nocciola, caffè. In bocca è ricca, dolce all'attacco con note tostate, leggero amaro in chiusura a bilanciare. Corpo medio, carbonazione soft. Splendida, una vera Robust Porter, quasi accademica.

A really pleasant drink, but doesn't have any outstanding flavours. If you're a dark beer drinker and want to spend a session on one dark beer - this is it. I would!
