Craft TCR Bottleshare. Slow gusher. Opaque dark brown beer, good pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffly dark malts with a little dark malt cream. Mellow chocolate cream and mild coconut. Airy finish. A very light tang on this beer, not seriously infected but enough I think to mar what was probably quite a delicate porter.

Bogtle shared at craft beer Co Covent Garden. 20/11/2018. Many thanks to Kenny for this one. A nut brown red coloured pour with a a frothy off white head. Aroma is waxy nut brown, praline, coco, red berries, coco. Flavour si composed of semi sweet, creamy coffee, praline, coco, camp coffee,. Palate is semi sweet. Oily, moderate carbonation.

Bottle shared in London / cheers to Kenny. Pours brown with a tight, creamy tan head. Aged but only lightly fucked. Nips of maple, brown bread, chocolate, minimal bitterness. Medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Warming finish, more brown bread, toasted sugars. Not bad.

Bottle. Dark mahogany beer with a dark cream head. Chocolate and light caramel aroma with light coconut. Caramel and light chocolate flavor with light coconut and light red fruit. Medium bodied. Caramel and light chocolate linger with light coconut.

Medium brown color. Nose of chocolate and coconut with some sourness. Taste is more astringent and sour than what I would imagined. I think/hope there was some issues with the beer, as it wasn't impressive.

Porter by Caldera with toasted coconut chips and chocolate. Creamy, pale yellowish beige, lightly lacing, medium thick head, deep ruddy bronze-brown colour, blackish but still completely translucent, with a warm coppery tinge. Aroma indeed reveals some toasted coconut - though not quite as much as I was expecting or hoping for (I love it), embedded in impressions of hazelnut shells, black bitter chocolate, dried figs, 'natural' haemoglobin-like iron, liquorice candy, vanilla beans, tea, dried apple peel. Sweet onset, candied date, immediately countered by a sourish undercurrent, softish carbo, smooth oily mouthfeel, slick but a tad thinnish for a 6+% ABV beer perhaps. Hazelnutty and peanutty malt bittersweet body with thin metallic edges, thin layer of bittering black chocolate towards the end, toasted coconut effect again noticeable but relatively subtle - even more so than in the nose, herbal tea-ish hop bitter accent, coffeeish roasted bitter touch all the way at the back. Decent like all Calderas - but also like other Calderas, this could have been a bit more expressive and outspoken for me, especially the coconut element.

8/IX/17 - 1Pt. 6Fl. Oz. bottle @ home with Alengrin - BB: n/a (2017-1486) Thanks to Alengrin for sharing the can!

Clear dark reddish brown beer, big creamy beige head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: soft roast, some chocolate, quite some coffee. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sourish start, lots of coconut at start, pretty bitter, some dried fruits, bit infected? Acidic touch. Aftertaste: vanilla notes, bit sweet, coconut touch, some cherries caramel. Decent stuff, but not sure if the acidity is intended.
