Black with quick fading head. Aroma has dark malts and a little bitter cocoa. Flavour has a constant but well balanced chilli buzz and light chocolatey notes.

Black with a creamy, light brown head. Aroma matches the expectation: milk chocolate and Habeneros. Plums underneath. Taste is mildly sweet with a strong chili bite. Too strong. If I want this much chili I’ll eat Mexican. A good example of chili misuse, which in my opinion should be subtle in a beer. Medium bodied with mild carbonation. Texture slightly watery at the finish. Drinkable but flawed.

Black, and pretty clear. Hardly any foam, very pale brownish. Smells deep roasty, and some chilli. Mouthfeel is pretty thin for the ABV, with some subtle chilli heat at the end. Taste is roasty, without much chocolate or any lactose. Some chilli taste.

Si vous n'appréciez pas les plats pimentés, n'essayez pas ce porter où Pohjala a eu la main lourde. Personnellement ce ne me dérange pas et je trouve que cela relève bien un porter de grande qualité. L'intégration du chocolat renforce quelque peu ce dernier sans changer fondamentalement le Must Kuld de base. L'ensemble reste donc très plaisant, sur une belle structure et des arômes pleins. En verre nous sommes sur un noir total sans mousse. Le nez est intense sur le chocolat, le café et le piment qui reste alors léger. Cela est pour mieux s'exprimer à la dégustation. L'attaque est sur une belle progression, on y découvre en premier une belle amertume suivie par l'alliance chocolat, café pour enfin découvrir le piment, bien relevé sur un alcool bien dosé. La deuxième bouche est plus franche avec une bonne corpulence et des arômes pleins de chocolat/café et avec un piment qui titille le palais. L’arrière-bouche est quant à elle davantage sur le café et l'alcool avec un bon contraste. Le final est peut-être un brin trop sur le piment qui reste longtemps en bouche. Avec une base tel que ce Must Kuld, cela facilite la tâche, mais il est certain que cette version ne plaira pas à tous.

Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with little head. Aroma is dark malts, full on chocolate, some coffee, caramel and molasses. Medium body. Flavour is nice complex dark malts, with very intense chocolate (of course enhanced by the addition of chocolate), some coffee, caramel. Some fig and prune notes, and some nutmeg as well. Light bitterness. Then a nice chili heat hits as well as some vegetal flavours that go with it, but neither is too strong to make it imbalanced. Finish is bittersweet, chocolatey and with a long lingering chili heat. Very nice, hits the mark perfectly with the chocolate and chili being very nicely balanced.
