Bottle: Deep ruby amber coloured, medium-sized stable & lacy beige head; light to moderate sweetish-fruity and toasty nose; moderate sweetish-bitter flavour, soft, light to medium bodied; becomes a bit drier in the fruity-roasty finish, followed by a malty bitterness in the aftertaste. Very decent.....

03/03 0.5 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured dark brown to reddish body with small brown head. Very nice and strong banana and bubblegum aroma, totally overwhelming regular porter scents. Flavor was very strange as well, sweetish caramelly and slightly coffee but with biscuit, vanilla and some yeast estery notes. Watery and thin bodied anyway, so not too much in it really. Finish is pure roasty, coffeish, very pleasant bittersweet with some biscuit coming at the very end. Pretty fine, although again one of those brews that miss a lot of body.

0.5l bottle from beershop.hr, shared with heavy Very dark brown, nearing black. Medium sized off white head, went away relatively slowly. Odd soft malty fruity nose... cooked plums or raisins? Light bubblegum, very light roast... Sweet malty taste, slightly caramelly and very lightly creamy and roasty. Not much to it... light raisins and bread too. Weak weak hop, more acidic than bitter. It’s not bad, it has a taste profile of a solid if tame session dunkel.

Dark brown coloured, small pale brown head, touch of chocolate and raisins in the nose. Mild roasted malt, chocolate and brown sugar without any bitterness. Touch of coffee near the end. Rather mild porter.

Cask at NWAF 2009. A very dark brown beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of malt as well as lighter notes of roasted malt and soy sauce. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, roasted malt, and soy sauce, leading to a dry roasted finish.
