Aroma kaffe, røsted malt. Utseende mørk brun med beige skum. Smak lakris æ, kaffe, sjokolade, røsted malt. En smaksrik og kraftig porter med fin fylde og balanse. Smak på Humle & Bier 2017

Pitch black pour with a thin off-white head that disappears quite quickly, but still leaves a bit of lacing. Strong aroma shows a roasted malts base that borders burnt caramel, with vivid coffee notes. There's strong sweetness too, though it stays in background, with fruit cake memories. Slight herbal and spicy hints too. Very rich and also well integrated. Taste is potent too, with a nice warming feel. Very high in both sweetness and bitterness, the result is overall perfectly balanced, with none standing out in both taste and afteraste. Roasted malts, coffee, fruit cake, hints of burnt caramel, a semi-dry finish with a herbal/balsamic hint and a slightly spicy aftertaste. Again, rich but perfectly balanced, hides the abv pretty well. Dense bodied with low to medium carbonation: a great, soft, creamy, full mouthfeel. Impressive
