50cl bottle, best before 25.10.15 (2 months off). Pours a very dark brown, opaque brew, with a thin tan head with no retention. Smells like an aged porter, alright - heavy on dark fruit, cherries, chocolate and coffee, and a mellow note of roasted grains. The taste is quite balanced - roasted grains, cherries, dark fruit, dark chocolate and coffee. Smooth mouthfeel and almost no carbonation.

Bottle - brewed in March 2014, expiry date March 2016. Black colour with brown reflexes, small brown head. Aroma is very intensive dark chocolate with cherry, a little bit of ash, wood. No alcohol noticeable. Light bitterness, slightly sour. Full body, slick texture, soft carbonation. I love the smoothness and thickness of the beer, it is absolutely not too heavy. I would even like it more if it had more body - but then it wouldn’t be normal porter ;) So, being as it is - a great, great beer.

Draft sample @ ACBF 15. Brune foncée, col fin blanc-cassé. Arôme est malté, sur un fini fruité rappelant les baies scandinaves avec une petite note levure en rétro. Palais est malté, caramel, léger chocolat avec une once de torréfie. Le tout est balancé par une fine pellicule fruité aigrelette de baies rouges. Retrouve une levure assez scandinave et que je semble retrouver de la Suède, sauf si c’est le cas de ce malt caramel.
