Draught at Bishops Arms, eskilstuna. Transparently near black, minimal head. Unpleasantfruity metallic nose. Swetish and blnd. Syrup and metal are way more prominent than roasty malt. This and sloppy as a macro lager with artificial colouring. Finishes with aluminium foil and soy sauce saltiness.

Draught. Very dark ruby brown colour, very close to black. Aroma is yeast, hops, mild roasted malts as well as some chocolate. Flavour is quite sweet and mildly acidic fruityness along with roasted malts. As it warms up also some coffeeish and chocolateish notes become present in the flavour too. Nice, but still quite watery.

Draught@Kaisla, Helsinki
Dark brown, almost opaque color with small expresso head. Sweetish, chocolaty aroma with some hops. Crisp, tickling carbonation. Starts a bit toasted malty, but then suprisingly flavor leans more towards to bitter and hoppy side. Some menthol in the aftertaste. Dark malts are there, slightly watery finish anyhow. Interesting, although not a really top class porter.

Just your average porter. Decent enough, but nothing really stands out......

Outstanding porter. Rich, creamy and roasty. Excellent herbal/grassy hop complements the rich malts. Smooth. I get a little worried about this in the clear glass bottles, but I've been lucky so far.
