On cask at Birreria Paradiso. A subtle version of the style, with an interesting roasted coffee and bitter chocolate flavor that does not hit you over the head.

500ml bottle from OddBins in Oxford. Frothy and bubbly one-finger, beige head over a clear, chestnut coloured body. Sweet and smooth roasted malts in smell. The flavour has got a dark malty profile slightly roasted and with hints of dark berries. A bit thin for a porter, but still pleasant mouthfeel (at Finn’s, Tromsø 16.05.2008).

Bottle 0,5l. Dark red - almost black. Aroma of chocolate & coffee. A small creamy head. Soft mouthfeel. Spicy flavor. Found hints of juniper in the aftertaste, but that’s probably blackcurrant. Easy drinking.

50 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a rim of an orange glare. Slowly collapsing light tan head. Chocolate and roasted malt aroma. Light body. Flavour is roasted and light acidic. Mild smoothness from the chocolate yet nothing that gives any body nor takes out the roasted notes into a decent balance. A bit thin and plain roasted, yet still a nice beer.

Dark ruby brown with a lasting off-white head. Dark toffee aroma with some cream coffee. Dry roast flavour with a chocolate note. Burnt charcoal finish. Not exactly a classic porter, and the roastedness is a bit one dimensional for my taste, but it’s a fine session stout.
