24/11/22, can. Nice creamy head. Intensive aroma of dark fruits, black berries, blue berries, cherries, dried plums with hints of chocolate, caramel. Taste of dark fruits, blue and blackberries. Light sourness. Some chocolate hints. Original one but expected more.

Black with thin lacy head. Aroma and flavour are really fruity and juicy. The blueberries come through well. Behind the sweetness there's a solid Porter. Silky taste.

Can from Brewcraft on a walk. Aroma is nice and bright with berry flavor coming through. Taste is surprisingly light and bright with a nice tartness and a sort of crispness that wasn’t at all the syrupy dark berry beer I expected. Unexpectedly refreshing for a 9.7% porter. Black and blueberries do a great job lightening things up too. Palate is light and frothy. Really good!

Can, 9.7%. Roasted aroma with sweet liquorice and dark bread notes. Black colour. Good stable rocky light brown head. The flavour is quite citric with bread and metal notes. Aftertaste of sweet liquorice.

Can, courtesy of the staff at the brewery’s taproom. Pours cloudy very dark brown with airy tan head. Clear aroma of dried fruit and yeast, with touches of malt. Dry flavour of berries, with sweetish notes of yeast and malt and touches of roast. Estery and dry aftertaste. Warming alcohol presence. A nice one. Merci beaucoup, messieurs.

Mõnusalt mustikane, marjane, magus, röstine, šokolaadine, kakaone, nats alksine. Keha võiks veits rohkem olla, aga muidu sobib.

Pours very dark chocolatebrown. Medium large, creamy tanned head. Scent is sharp, roasty, typical porter, but noticably stronger indeed. Fruits aren't noticable just yet. Taste is rich. Fruits much more clear now, in perfect balance with the sharp roast that's typical for the style of the basebeer. Heavy, but not boozy. Could use a bit more body to me. Average carbonation.

On tap at Haandfest. An unclear brown beer with a dense finger-thick beige head. Some curtains. Roasted malts, some coffee and dark chocolate and a good dash of blackberries in the aroma. It's full-bodied, lightly warming and soft on the palate, with a berry dominated flavor. Both blackberry and berries in a more generic way. Roasted malts, some coffee and chocolate too. A touch of bitterness toward the finish. Nice indeed, but the blackberries got a bit overwhelming. 190503

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with slightly late awakening, average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, beige head. Intense, fruity aroma, notes of bramble, chocolately, dark malty background. Taste is sweet-ish and minimally tart, fruity, chocolately dark malty, notes of bramble and dark chocolate, the blackberry purée delivers even some peppery spicy aspects. Slightly viscous texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, lingering fruity finish. Quite focussed on the blackberry part, almost a bit monotonous - but well balanced and very tasty. I like it.
