This beer pours a deep chestnut brown, with a billowing cappucino head. It has aromas of forest fruits and a biscuity, malty body. Generously hopped with US varieties.

Bottle: Nose is smoke, orange, blackberry and cherry with a hint of cocoa and vanilla. The fruit smells make it very fresh smelling for a porter. Taste is biscuit, malt leading to smoke and a juicy citrusy, grapefruit, pineapple hopped finish with a little lasting resin which makes it refreshing for a porter. Mouthfeel is slick. It’s decent but too much IPA for a porter.

Bouteille(@Kris Wines, British Empire):Deep mahagony coloured, stable medium-sized tanned head, chocolatey, caramelly, fruity, ashy and toasty aromas in the mainly dry bitter nose; solid dry bitter flavour, supported by a little sweetness, light to medium bodied and pretty soft; lingering dry ashy and fruity finish. Very pleasant,yeah…

Dark brown color, good beige head. Aroma has American citrus-fruity hops, underlying caramel and roast. Light bodied. Front has some crystal malts then American hops: citrus, fruits, pineapple. Tickling bitterness mixes with late coffee and chocolate flavors. Nice and rich although light. I think this is more like a black ipa than "porter".

A colablack beer with an almost medium and beige head. The nose is roasted and liquirice, some salt, also grapefruits and citrusfruits. Taste is strongly roasted, coffee, quite dry, medium bitterness and grapefruity sourness. The end is quite dry, strongly roasted and almost burned. Medium- bodied, low carbonation, easy to drink. Nice Porter with "US style" that is noticed as grapefruity, giving freshness to otherwise, quite dry and roasted feeling.
