Bottled. A dark red beer with a thin dark brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate, leading to a dry roasted finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours a clear orangey brown with a small beige head. Roasty nose, some dark fruits and a whiff of smoke. Medium body, some roast but actually the dried dark fruits seem to dominate. Again a roasty bitter finish. 140212

(bottle) Very dark brown black with no head. Pleasant aroma: fruity with dark roast and peppery notes. Full bodied, oily with lively carbonation. Rich complex flavour - dark toffee with peppery spicy notes and a finish of bitter coffee and dark roast malt. Overall, whilst I am not a fan of porters, I enjoyed this beer.

Bottle. Toffee coloured, fading tan head. Aroma has roasted malts with dried fruit (dates?). Really quite syrupy. Port and tokay flavours, but the mouthfeel is smooth and remains pretty clean. Good, but not really my sort of thing.

Dark brown pour with an off-white small persistent head.Quite sweet aroma of chocolate, coffee, caramel, along with more unconventional notes of citrus (orange), white grapes, and cinnamon. A lot lighter and fruitier than I expected!Big flavour profile of sweet roasted malt and some of those afore-mentioned fruits and spices. Alcohol is definitely present in a sweet almost cloying finish. Some spicy hop flavours present but little of the bitterness.Very rich body, quite chewy. Alcohol makes for a velvety mouthfeel.If it wasn’t for the massively sweet boozy finish this would be great.
