This beer is one of a kind! Four different malted barleys combine to create a distinctive, full-bodied beer with a roasted nuttiness, uniquely enhanced by a hint of hazelnuts. Smooth and creamy with the nose of the Williamette hop, this porter is a beer style unto itself.

Thanks to Darkover for the trade. This beer is a dark brown color with a slight ruby tint. Thick and rocky light beage head and light lacing. The aroma is roasted and nutty, with some malt as well. Medium-bodied with a harsh hops character at the forefront. Hazelnut, malt and coffee are all overpowered by the bitter quality in the flavor. The finish is also harshly bitter at times making it hard to enjoy this beer. Not sure if this is an off bottle but I am not a fan of this beer.

Dark ruby color. Creamy brown head, lace. Aroma is forest-like, alcoholic, hoppy. Typical porterish mouthfeel: roasted malt. Medium-bodied, smooth palate.

The aroma is sweet, slightly smoked and slightly malty. The color is dark red and it has a fine but fast disappearing head. The flavor is sweet malty with slight roasted notes. An OK beer - but not stouty enough - maybe because of the rather low ABV.

Black color; creamy thin cap. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, cartonbox, very light wallnut. Good body strength, roasted malt, turning to hop bitterness for the final. With some hazelnut and wallnut flavor; quite original.

Dark brown with a big, collapsing head. Nutty nougat aroma. Flavour is coffee, chocolate and a little bit of toffee.
