Creamy tan head stayed on a rich dark mahogany coloured still body. Coffee & malt aroma. Medium bodied, smooth on the tongue with a sharp clean back. Coffee, roasted, nutty, malt & berry tastes with bitter tangy finish. Nice...

Bottle. Dark brown, almost black body with a small beige head. Aroma has chocolate and coffee, really much coffee. Taste is also dominated by coffee, but also malt and vanilla. Much coffee here, but itโs damn god coffee and a fine balance between sweet and bitter. Fine body as well and lots of coffee in aftertaste as well. A coffee porter that really projects the coffee in a god way.

On tap at Hoppy Corner, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of rich coffee upfront, with a lightly toasted malt backbone. Flavour likewise reveals a rich coffee character upfront and dominating, with a hint of dark fruits further back. One of the best coffee porters I can think of in recent memory. Excellent.
