Canned @ Kafe Belgie, large sample. Dark brown color, short brown head. Aroma of coffee, roast, chocolate, dark bread. Quite malty. Not much sweetness in taste, mostly bitter. Wonderful porter!

Solid porter. Body of sweetish malt, brown and coffee I think. Notes of mocca, cacao and a bit milk. Nice.

Deep dark brown colour. Quite a sweet aroma with lots of choclately malts and a touch of toast. Texture is rich, smooth and oily. Bittersweet roasted cocoa with a slight hop bitterness in the background.

Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours brown with a tan head. Aroma is chocolate. Med body. Flavor is chocolate, dark malt, and some earthy hop. Fairly tasty stuff. Finishes chocolate and fairly dry. Just a hint of maltiness.

Can: Charred oak, smoke, grilled meat aroma. Dark brown, thin tan head. Roasted malt, charcoal, hints of raisin, but roast is dominant. Wispy smoke finish. Medium body, alcohol not noticeable. What a hearty robust porter.
