Tap at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. Poured a dark mahogany with a round bubbly light tan head. The aroma is dry dusty roasted malt. The flavour is light bitter with a watery light hop roasted malt palate. Light bodied with flat carbonation. Too light for a porter and lacks flavour.

Bottle shared at Garbage Night II - London. Picked up from the Royal Oak. Pours clear, light rd-brown with a frothy tan head. Toasty brown bread in the nose, aged berries, earth. Light-medium sweet flavor with dry, toasted brown bread, mellow bitter earth, dry toffee. Light bodied with average carbonation. Sweet, simple toasty malt finish, some toasty caramel, minimal bitterness. Very basic but drinkable enough.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is earthy, toasted brown sugar, roast, earth and dark fruits. The taste is toasty, earth, spent coffee grounds, dirt, milk choc and light peppery notes with a dry, earthy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Ok porter.
