Lattina. Il naso vira verso l'orzo tostato. La finezza olfattiva è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore color marrone chiaro ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine.. Il colore è come l'inchiostro nero. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in buona armonia con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Il tetto della bocca porta note di miele, cracker, cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca, agrumi e arancia rossa.

330ml can at Landlov in Bodø, in friedly company with Foffern. Pours a big, beige head slowly fading over a brown-black body, spotty lacing. Promising aromas of cocoa-chocolate, mid-sweet. Rounded taste profile of oatmeal, hints of nuts, and chocolate. Roasted malt-driven moments to a rounded finish. Medium bodied. Pretty good. (Bodø, 10.11.2023).

Can at home, picked up from an online peddler, 07/08/21. Mid black with a good sized tan cap. Nose is chocolate, toffee, mellow roast, coffee bean, dark malts. Taste comprises chocolate, coffee grinds, caramel, light ashen notes, roasted bite, brown sugar melt, nutty twang. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Decent flavoursome porter. Struggling to see why this scores so low (3.18) ... seems mainly due to Polish hype bros dropping 2. somethings ... not everything needs to measure up to a BA 12% stout!
