330ml can bought from Optimism and drunk at home. Salted caramel, dustings of chocolate in the aroma. Incredible taste: sweet with a yeast extract savoury sourness, followed by a light balancing bitterness. More salted caramel and some Bovril on the aftertaste. Thick, soupy body with soft carbonation. Just an incredible strong porter.

Pours black or almost so, with a quite big per abv, frothy dark yellowish/light brown head. Good enough retention and nice lacing. A rather simple but pleasantly clean aroma with good enough intensity: roasted malts, coffee, bitter chocolate. Quite straightforward, but with a softish background feel. Taste notes follow the aroma closely, again with decent intensity and in a clean, well defined way. Medium sweet and medium to high bitter, with a balanced mouth and the slightest bitter edge in a semi-dry finish. Perfectly hidden abv. As the aroma suggested, it is a straighforward, classic strong porter, but with a bit of a soft feel to it, mostly due to its mouthfeel; quite dense in body, with vey light carbonation, resulting in a semi-creamy mouthfeel that feels rather easy for the abv. Overall, a well made and highly enjoyable strong porter.

33cl can, held on it for almost one year. Pours pitch black, with no foam. Aroma is rich, with dark chocolate, a little vanilla, caramel. Body is fairly dense, still with average carbonation. A little stickiness. Taste is intensely sweet first, then with a nice roasty bitterness, which continues into the final.
