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.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of malt, over ripe fruits, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, alcohol, and metal as well as light notes of milkchocolate. A bit too simple for my taste - more like a Barley Wine than a chocolate porter.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a small redish glare with a small off-white head. Aroma is dark malty and light chocolate. Chocolate and vanilla flavoured, light roasted. Dark malty and vanilla flavoured into the finish. Smooth malty lasting impression.

[11/09] Bottle. Black with small crema head. Caramel malt, coffee, cocoa and heaps of vanilla on the nose. The chocolate is pronounced and quite bitter and separate from the malt sweetness. Surprisingly savoury - it really could work with a pie. [3.8][10/16] Had many times since, but this time actually testing the meat pie idea. Yep. If there’s such a thing as a classic dozen Australian beers, this is one of them.

Very dark copper pour with a moderately sized tan head that slowly fades.Aroma consists of mil chocolate, roasted malt, sultanas and just a hint of vanilla (it merges with the chocolate).Loads of chocolate grain evident upon tasting: lots of nutty and toasty note with a hint of roasted grain but little of the roasty bitterness. Some light chocolate is apparent.Good medium body, I would have liked it to be richer/creamier.
