330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 6.8%. Black colour, moderate beige head. Aroma of roast malts, cocoa powder and weak coffee. The flavour has distinct cocoa / chocolate and vanilla, but is not too sweet. Some slight fruity hints, moderate notes of roast malts and coffee. Not bad.

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker. Pours cloudy black with a dissipating, small, frothy, beige head; little lacing. Aroma of milk chocolate, faint fondant, burnt caramel, macadamia, roasted peanut, vanilla, chocolate cake, hint of raisin. Medium malty sweet onset, quite chocolatey & creamy; light to medium herbal bitter middle with mocha, roasted peanut & fondant, though quite 'powdery' & somewhat artificial. Herbal & bit peppery hoppy finish, toasty, lingering fondant & coffee roast. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Tasty Porter.

Bottle from Waitrose, Frimley. Dark chocolate and coffee aroma. Dark and glossy cola brown. Bubbly beige head soon fades. Medium bitter before a creamy chocolate wave sweeps in for the finish. Light bodied. Relatively thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Good stuff. Delivers on the cocoa.
