Skilfully built from citrus Target, spicy Challenger and earthy Fuggle hops, our porter is a voyage of vanilla sweetness and bitter chocolate.

(bottle) Dark and ruby brown colour with a slightly beige and medium-sized foamy head. Mildly roasty malty aroma with present notes of vanilla, accompanied by hints of chocolate and mocha. Moderately sweet flavour, light bodied with a soft carbonation. Mildly roasted malt character with an almost creamy mouthfeel, loads of vanilla, as well as chocolate and traces of mocha in the background; slim and moderately sweet darkm malty finish. Nice one. 24.IX.18

porter sa 4.5% alk kupljen u Lidlu. Nakon onih aleova koji su se još prije nekih pola godine prodavali u Lidlu, ovo me je stvarno ugodno iznenadilo. Jako dobro pivo, pravi porter sa nešto vanilije u sebi.

Bottle, 4.5%. Good mildly roasted aroma, lactose and/or vanilla note.Clear very dark brown colour. Small tan head. The flavour is not roasted, but malty with a mild vanilla bean note. Fairly thin mouthfeel, but the flavour is not bad considering the ABV. OK balanced.
