Bottle shared by Jan, cheers! Creamy, pale yellowish beige, lacing head over a very dark burgundy hued beer, near blackish in appearance. Aroma of espresso, cocoa, subtle milk chocolate, cappuccino, melting butter, toffee, dried banana, fig, date and some ’haemoglobin’ iron. Dried fruit sweetishness in the mouth, well rounded and pleasant with hints of raisin and fig surrounded by basic sourishness, medium carbo, agreeably ’granular’ and powdery mouthfeel, lightly oily caramelly and chocolatey malt body with toasted bitterishness but only softly so, lightly spicy hops in the end, drying but the bittersweet chocolatey malts get the last word. Classic but very nice example of American porter, not too far removed from e.g. Sierra Nevada’s or Anchor’s interpretations of the style and in that sense perhaps looking backwards, but there is nothing wrong with that, of course.

12 fl. oz bottle. Pours dark reddish brown colour with a mid-sized good lasting tan head. Aroma of dark roasted malt, sweet chocolate, some bourbon, spruce. Taste of sweet roasted dark malt, chocolate, some smoke, vanilla, milk.

Black colored, small tan creamy head, not very lasting. Aroma is of chocolate, roasted malt, bit coffee, light smoke. Taste is medium sweet chocolate, roasted malt, bit coffee, some licorice, light smoke, some burnt notes, dry finish, medium- roasty bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation.

Pours a cloudy dark brown with a thin light brown head. Slightly smokey baker’s chocolate smell, similar flavor. Well-balanced bittersweetness. Porters are tough I think, this one’s good though.

Pours black with an off-white head.Nose shows roasted malt and cocoa, soft bready notes and some liquorice too.Dry roasty flavours, some toasty malt and liquorice. Perfectly balanced.

Bottle. Nearly black with a modest light tan head. Medium roasty aroma with some nuts and licorice. Medium bodied. Sweetish and malty with firmish roasted flavours and a dry, moderately bitter and slightly smokey finish. Straightforward and satisfying.
