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

Bottle. Pours sligtly hazy dark copper brown with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of coffee and chocolate, with notes of yeast and touches of malt and hops. Bitter, roasty flavour with notes of lactose and malt and estery touches. Coffeelike and estery afteraste. A nice one, if a little watery.

Bottle from LIDL. Chestnut body, some off white head. Dry aroma, mainly vanilla, vague chocolatte, some strange unappealing note just at the end of it, but generally fine. Simple, light taste, mostly vanilla on a clean dry malty background, somehow juicy, with soft carbonation making it quite drinkable. Vague bitterish touch in theaftertaste. One-dimensional and too light, but a surprisingly fine, likable beer. Surprised me.

Bottle. Dark brown with a tiny white/beige head. Aroma is full-on vanilla. Taste is also mostly vanilla plus some milk chocolate, artificial sweetener and caramel with a small hint of coffee. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Low carbonation with a flat and thin mouthfeel. Just ok.

Bottled 500ml. -from local Lidl Zagreb. Brown to black coloured, medium sized beige head, vanilla in the nose. Mild roasted malt, milk chocolate, pretty strong and slightly artificial vanilla with again vanilla in the finish. Bit one-dimensional but ok.

Bottle, 0.5l. Deep ruby pour, almost black. One finger frothy beige head, medium retention. Nice lacing on the glass. Lots of chocolate on the nose. Cocoa powder, nice. Thin body, unfortunately. Medium carbonation, regular texture. Light mouthfeel. Roasty bittersweet taste. Malty aroma, caramel, chocolate and cocoa. Milk. Hints of vanilla in the aftertaste. Mildly roasty, dry finish. Overall, looks good, smells really good... Aroma is also good. It's just too thin and watery. A shame, really, this one had lots of potential but at the end of the day it's just mediocre. Eh.

Süß-röstiger Beginn mit deutlich Vanille. Minimal holzig, die starke Vanille bleibt konstant. Weich herb, trocken schokoladig, mit der Zeit einen Ticken bitter. Vollmundig, weich, malzig-trockenes Finish. Nett! 10/11/11/11/9/11
