Bottle pour into tulip glass from Signal Variety. Appearance is black (but dark ruby with light source directly behind) with light sparkle, ring of beige head with spotty lacing that doesn’t last. Aroma is strong roasted malts on the right side of ashy, almond biscotti, vanilla, dark chocolate. Taste is roasted malts (almost ash), vanilla. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with mostly watery texture with light creaminess, lively carbonation and mixture of sweet and bitter roasted malt finish. Overall, better than I expected based on others’ ratings. Nice appearance and aroma but taste is less complex and palate is a bit thin.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Black, mid sized head. Faint coffee aroma. Sweetish with light body and clean mouthfeel. Cardboardy syrup, notes of boiled vegetables. Metallic finish. Industrial blandness and lack of soul.

Igazi reggeli csemeteség, ébredés után fejbekólintsa az embert mint a tekegolyó.

11.2oz bottle. Pretty reasonable macro Porter. Roasty dry chocolate malts. Easy medium body, but some pleasant depth that keeps it enjoyable. Very classical, British, sessionable. I drank it very quick. Pretty solid for a $12.49 12 pack.

F: big, off-white to brownish, average retention. C: dark, opaque. A: roasted malt, caramel, light earthy, hint of chocolate, salty, hint of grassy. T: roasted malt, hint of earthy, light caramel, hint of grassy, salty, coffee aftertaste, quite watery but should be refreshing, light body, medium carbonation, what people expect from this porter it´s more than average and underrated in my opinion, 500ml bottle from AH supermarket in Antwerpen.

Bottle: Deep amber coloured with a chestnutty sheen, small persistent off-white foamy layer; mild roasty and very mild caramelly nose, presumably a mild hoppy background; very light bitter flavour, thin body; slightly lingering mild toasty-malty finish with a shy bitterness in the aftertaste. Nothing wrong with it, just way toooooo thin...
