A very tempting extreme twist on the classic robust porter, brewed with over 300 kg of malt and infused with a dash of rich Dutch cocoa and whole vanilla beans. Luscious chocolate, coffee, and caramel flavors are balanced by a hint of vanilla and a body of 6% alcohol. A perfect winter warmer or a complement to meat pies and chocolate-based desserts. A definite "unisex" beer with great appeal for both guys and gals.

Bottle at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a dark mahogany colour with a thin broken tan head and a little broken lace. The aroma is very clearly of sweet fruit and chocolate and this also dominates the flavour too. There is also some late developing bitterness on the palate and in the aftertaste. It’s a great Chocolate Porter, but its one of those Chocolate beers that might become a little sickly after a while.

Dark brown opaque beer. Tidy cream - tan colour head. Light semi dry palate. A little papery dark malt, mild and slightly aged tasting. Mild orange hop underneath. Mild dark chocolate powder. Dry finish. Okay if a bit clunky.

From a 330ml bottle on 8/2/2011. Has a lovely strong roasted malt and chocolate aroma, with a hint of dark fruits (prunes). Flavour wise, there’s heaps of sweet dark chocolate, along with more roasted malt, and some caramel and toffee. The flavours are nicely set off by a good dose of bitterness at the back. My only criticism is that the palate is a little thin. That said, this is a truly excellent porter.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours a dark brown with a tint of red and a small and lacing beige head. The nose is rich in milk chocolate. Medium body, some roast and rather sweet chocolate - actually some late licorice as well. Some dark fruits and a roasty discreet bitterness in the finish. 021110

Bottled at Bishop’s Arms SoFo, Stockholm. Near black, small head. Rich milky chocolate aroma. Mid-sweet with soothing, rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Lots of cocoa powder and vanilla, which dominates the beer completely. Finishes with more milk chocolate and low bitterness. An upfront one-flavour beer.

Bottle at Nya Tröls, Malmö
Brown color; small head. The aroma is chocolatey and coffeish. The mouthfeel is quite weak, with very light sourness, and this is a pity, because the flavor is not bad, with a very pleasant chocolate; very light vanilla too; as the body is weak, the final is a bit short. Good, but it could be better with some more body.
