Bottle courtesy of Ursula and consumed at home in the company of Jonas, Ursula and Marko Friday 7th February 2025 listening to ByteFM, we had Beef Stifado and a Greek Salad for tea tonight. Pours black with not much of a head, this tastes rather slim compared to the previous beer. Cognac is a little bit too pushy, chocolatey, a little warming okay but get my skates on as we're on a lambic now.

0.33l bottle, huge thanks Ursula for bringing it from Netherlands. Hazy dark red, blackish even. Pleasant, subtle aroma, some light chocolate, vague cognac, raisins.... vague wood, some vanilla. Lean, dry, well balanced taste, coffee breaks through more, definitely some raisins, but remarkably drinkable. No missteps, very elegant. Some light alcohol warmth, but makes sense within the context, it's almost juicy. Good one!

Aus der Flasche im 2024-05 getrunken. Diese kräftige Porter hat eine deutliche Süße, Rumtopffrüchte, Lakritze, etwas Vanille und Mokkaschokolade. Hier kann man sehr auf Entdeckertour nach Aromen gehen. Alles sehr ausgewogen und mit einen sehr langen Abgang wo die Rumtopffrüchte und die Mokka-Schokolade fast ewig am Gaumen hängen bleiben.

Pretty clear dark brown beer, a little murky, small aery irregular beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: oh yes, lovely, lots of chocolate going on here, vanilla notes, some coffee, good roast, alcohol, a bit oxidized. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: lots of alcohol up front, good roast, slightly sourish, chocolate, coffee, some vanilla, caramel, a sweet touch. Aftertaste: some pleasant oxidative notes, a little bitter, more chocolate, a bit sweet, lots of dark chocolate still, vanilla, dark caramel, nice stuff, love it!
