Cask at the Moon & Spoon (JDW), Slough. Poured pitch black with a reddish glow and a dense cream head - looking just like a Porter should; aroma of chocolate malt and coffee; rich chewy dark malt flavours, with some coffee, chocolate and smoke; deeply dry and bitter finish with some coffee grounds and aniseed thrown in. All in all, an excellent Porter.

Cask (?) at Kitty’s, Helsinki. Poured an extremely dark red, clear, almost black. Small persistent off white rocky head. Light sweet malty nose, coffee, bit oily but generally nice. The taste is disappointingly empty, some rye bread,, some fruitiness, quite drinkable due to the body and leaving a lasting bitter aftertaste. Some peach too. Not a typical Porter I guess and not my favorite.

Bottle: Deep amber coloured with ruby sparks, presumably hazy, extremely firm and persistent tanned head, lively carbonation; roasted malt, honey and dried fruits in the nose; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, soft MF, light to medium bodied; some hidden sweetness and hoppiness in the mainly dry roasty and bitter-chocolatey finish. What a delicious stuff.........

Cask at Birreria Paradiso in DC. Opaque choco black-brown color with a soapy non-head. Lacks any carbonation in the mouthfeel. Big, chocolate flavor. Thick, rich, and creamy. Very gentle on the palate. Excellent.

Bottle from Beer Geek. Pours very dark brown with a multifinger beige head. Aroma is rather cola, with chocolate and coffee. Medium plus body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is primarily chocolate, backed by toasted malt and coffee. Suggestions of darker fruits. Finish is fairly dry, and there is a dried dark fruit aspect - but not sweet - just fruit. Mouthsmackingly tasty. Bitter in the finish, but from hop or toast?
