Bitter taste, coffee, dry, spicy, sour of licorice. Very dry porter. 737314

Bottle, 6.0%. Batch#23. Fresh-ground coffee and chocolate aroma. Black colour, seemingly hazy. Small light brown head. The flavour is quite roasted with some malt bitterness and creamy notes. It finishes a little yeasty. Medium mouthfeel. Nicely flavourful and quite drinkable.

500 ml bottle, batch #19. New recipe, somewhat different from the 2005 "trial version" served at the RBESG 2005. Black colour (= very dark ruby when held to the light), rich and creamy tan head. Nice roasty aroma, notes of dark chocolate, leather and woodwork too. Flavour of roast malts, coffee and chocolate. Not as fruity as expected, but still a nice beer.

Bottled at Lorry, #2. Very dark brown beer with a large beige head leaving nice lacings. Lightly sour aroma with roastiness and chocolate. The flavor has lots of coffee and roastiness and with caramel and chocolate. Dry and slightly bitter finish. A nice beer, but not their best version of a porter. (5-4-6-4-13-3.2) (060328)

Bottled. (#18) Dark brown, almost black beer with a small, brown head. Lovely aroma of coffee, roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor has the same elements, and in addition theres a slight fruitiness to it. A slight sourness leads to a dry, bitter finish with roastiness. This is the newest version of the beer, and the most appropriate rating. (060321)

500ml bottle. Batch no.18 (Nov.05, BB:Nov.07).Unpasteurized, not filtered. Dusty dark brown gown. Aroma with lots of roastiness. Beige, lasting head. Corny. Taste of dark chocolate, burnt malt and black coffee. Very maltiness finish. The beer is too young and will certainly improve its features after a while. I keep a bottle in the cellar for re-rating early next year.
