473ml can at the Battle of Bull, Cheras, Selangor, Malaysia. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a thin broken off white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is roasty malt, light ashtray. The flavour is moderate to light liqourice bitter, with a rich, slightly oily, roasty, liqourice, dry ashtray, light sweet chocolate palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall tan head that fades very quickly. Aroma of roasted malt, oatmeal, grain, caramelised sugars and a big dose of nuts and earthiness towards the end with a burnt molasses and chocolate scent. Medium-bodied; Strong rich earthiness noticeable up front with a lot of grainy malts showing some oatmeal and molasses notes along with a big hit of chocolate and a bit of cherries along with a slight dose of acidity, but this one really shows the lactose and creamy notes, especially at the end. Aftertaste shows some earthiness, a touch of hazlenuts along with more of the peanut and almond flavoured nuts along with some earthiness and a solid breadth of sweetness from caramelised sugars to toffee and molasses. Overall, a nice and dry porter with a lot of oats and graininess showing through with malts stronger than any sugars or lactose, but a solid robust profile that is still fairly easy-drinking and deep. I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 06-May-2020 for US$3,29 sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-February-2021.

Dark brown colour, steady beige head. Aroma is toasted with coffee and light vanilla. Light to medium-bodied. Soft palate, coffeish toasted stout. Well-balanced but of course only 5.5%.

Burk från SB. Riktigt mörkt mörkt brun med lågt skum. Stor chokladdoft, molass, rostad malt. Stor kropp för sin alkoholstyrka. Väl söt för min smak men chokladsmakerna är fina. Gott
