330ml bottle. Jet black colour with slightly late awakening, small to average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, dark beige head. Chocolately, dark malty and slightly spicy aroma, notes of dark chocolate, some coffee and cocoa, a touch of cinnamon and chili, zesty overtones with a touch of orange. Taste is minimally sweet, chocolately dark malty, slightly spicy, notes of dark chocolate, hints of cocoa, cinnamon, a slowly cumulating, peppery touch of chili, slightly bitter, zesty orange peel overtones. Viscous texture, smooth, soft and silky palate.

330 ml bottle. Dark brown pour, lots of brown foam on the top. Looks quite promising. Nose has light spicy booze, quite well balanced with chocolate and cocoa bean character, light tingling of citrus as well if you look hard. Taste has medium sweetness, not too thick or syrupy body, spicy and lots of dark chocolate there. Well balanced and enjoyable, I expected it to be more thick but it actually has about the right balance now. Another hit from Põhjala.

Kicsi, tartós hab, fekete szín. Csokis, kakaós, piros gyümölcsös, szárított narancshéjas illat. Csokis, kakaós, aszalt gyümölcsös ízek, némi narancshéjas beütéssel. Enyhén édeskés, testes, enyhén szénsavas, közepesen keserű. Isteni.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 08.01.2022) im 2019-05 getrunken. Dieses Mezcal BA IPorter mit Belizianischer Schokolade und geflammte Orangenschale kommt mit einer recht komplexen aber auch nicht vollkommenen harmonischen Aromen daher. Für mich passt diese leichte Räuchernote zu der Orangen/Schokonote nicht ganz. Es ist ganz klar ein Top-Porter und eine sehr spannender Aromenkombination nur halt für mich nicht ganz so harmonisch. Vielleicht brauchen die Aromen noch eine längere Lagerungszeit, um sich perfekt entfalten können.

Bottle shared in London - cheers too Mitch. Pours clear brown-black with a fine, creamy tan head. Lots of smoke, light peat, smoked pepper, earth. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish, some bitter ashy roast. OK overall.
