bottle from hopt settles pitch dark, pours dark brown. light brown head. Aroma is dominated by aromatic dark chocolate, 60% or so, then some roasted malts, but not imp. stoutish roasted malts, more like bock roasted malts. the dark chocolate dominates. Aroma reminds me a bit of bruery's chocolate rain, but not as extreme though. flavor is tons of dark chocolate, and a decent base of dry roasted malts. starts and end with a strong cocoa flavor.

For an English porter this has more taste and body as usual. Nice roasted malts, decent chocolate aroma, light but not watery, bittersweet, ok

Many thanks to Simontomlinson. Great smooth chocolate beginning. Liquid chocolate, milk chocolate with hints of Espresso. Deep caramelly, fantastic balanced. Great stuff.

Dark brown with a frothy, tan head. Aroma of milk chocolate and vanilla promises a dessert beer. Taste follows for the most part—sweet up front with a mild, roasted bitterness on the backside. Mild cherry pop at the end. Medium-bodied, smooth. Not a huge amount of depth, but quite pleasant enough even with the lactose and cocoa additives in firm control of things.

330ml bottle – Pours a dark brown colour with a large mostly lasting foamy beige head. Aroma is chocolatey, roasted malts and cocoa. A moderate to light sweet chocolatey taste, roasted sweet malts and milk chocolate flavours with a bitter chocolate finish.

Backlog January 2019. Clear dark brown, almost black body under a thin beige head. Aroma of dark malt, chocolate and cocoa. Taste is sweet and mostly chocolate and sweet malt with a mild cocoa flavor in the background. Fine body and nice aftertaste. Not bad at all.
