If your three favorite things in life are: hops, chocolate and coffee (not necessarily in this order) you will love this beer! The dominant flavours of fresh roasted coffee beans and dark chocolate come forward, as the spicy hops take the back sit. It's texture and dark colour are well suited for an autumn afternoon or a summer night.

Bottle at Kanaal - Sofia. Pours deep brown with a creamy, tan head. The nose holds ashy roast, burnt leaves, dry cocoa. Light sweet flavour with lots of bitter chocolate notes, moderate roast, scorched earth. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Dry and ashy on the finish, with burnt toast, more bitter earth. Not bad.

Bottle. Pours clear mahogany, very large beige head, bubbly with decent lacing. Aroma is roasty, coffee, acetone, Brett, diaper. Flavor is light tart, some funk, acetone, coffee. Medium body, high carbonation. Bit of an infection going, unfortunately.

33cl bottle. Dark brown pour with a thin and lively tan head that disappears in an instant. Smells of roasted malts, dark cherries. The taste follows the same note. Light bodied and med-high carbonation.

SEP-2018. Draft at BCBF 2018. Super hoppy and resiny. Very good. (I think the hopped up version of their porter have replaced their cmore classic version.) 7-3-8-4-16=3,8.
MAR-2016. BOTTLE 33 CL. Almost pitch black, but with pretty clear ruby highlights, nice beige head. Smells of coffee beans, dried dates, molasses and some fresh dates. The taste is smooth and balanced, starting with sweetened coffee, roasted coffee beans, moderate spicy bitterness. The carbonation is a bit prickly at first, but gets smoother with time. Pretty fine. 7-4-7-4-15=3,7.

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Pours almost black with a mid-sized most good lasting tan head. Aroma of mild dark roasted malt, coffee, some hops. Taste of bitter roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, mild bitter hops, delicious!

Many thanks to ciocanelu for this bottle. The beer starts intense roasted. Very fresh with lots of dark roast. Intense dry roasted, even dusty. The bitterness is on a moderate level and fits in well to the bitter roasted dark malt. The aftertaste is long, roasted chocolate, very nice. Intense bitter dark roasted Porter!

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks David Cohen. Dark brown with a beige head. Aroma of roast, some chocolate, nuts, a bit of coffee. Flavor is quite dry with roast, some chocolate, faint sweetness, a bit of nuts, and a bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Nice well-made Porter.
