A very dark brown beer with a quite big and beige head. A great aroma has strong milk chocolate, mild roastiness and coffee, hint of vanilla. Taste is smooth, chocolate, some coffee and vanilla, some bitterness in the end. Medium bodied, velvety palate. The great and quite simple beer, where the pleasant chocolate is smoothly presented.

Can from Bjorn. Thank you for serving me beer while I laid on your couch eating pizza that you paid for! :) Very dark black with a 1 finger coffee head that fades quite fast. Aroma of cream, coffee, espresso, some tropical american hops. Good roasted aroma nose. good mouthfeel, plenty of creamy textures, really sticky mouthfeel. chocolate is subdued, all is pretty well integrated. very drinkable and could drink a lot of it maybe 2-4 cans.

355 ml. can @ home. Procured from Dranken Geers. Smudged BBF date. I wish more specialty beer was canned, this can just feels so light & comfortable, I am a bit tired of dragging around lots of heavy bottles. Deep dark brown mahogany beer with light dark red huge, huge collapsing tanned bubbly head. Decent lacing. Sweet chocolate powder nose, sweet cacao & hazelnut, faint roast, nicely sweet soy chocolate milk, milk chocolate. Tastes of instant soy chocolate milk mix, cacao powder, light bitterness, light roast, faint chicory coffee, cheap coffee, almond milk, chocolate powder, light bitterness in the back. Drinks like soy chocolate milk. I could really session this. Basic & a bit simple in a very satisfactory way. I like it.

Can: Pours a traditional dark brown color, topped with a light beige head. The nose is on the sweeter side; cocoa, mocha, and light roast. Creamy mouthfeel, light espresso and chocolate taste with an evolving finish… light roast at first, then bittersweet and finally a bit earthy. Sweeter than most ‘robust’ porters, but tasty.

Porter uit blik, me like !.... schenkt zwart met bruine prikkelende koolzuurkraag die na een tijdje volledig verdwijnt. Aroma is gewoonweg goed, mooie mouten, veel en dan zeer veel chocolade, koffie, en zoetig. Smaken zijn direct al bij de eerste slok verbazingwekkend..... wow.... en dit uit blijk....niet verwacht... maar smaakt gewoon erg goed.... had een waterige porter verwacht maar dat is dit juist niet, mooi vol en romig/creme smaken, volle chocoalde, volmoutig, gebrande mouten, koffie, zwak bittertje, donkere fruiten, droge tonen die bij een porter/ bier met koffie hoort, redelijke body, lange prettige afdronk... ja doe mij nog maar wat van dit spul...
