This full, complex beer is an homage to one of Mike’s best known beers. At 7% ABV it’s an extremely smooth beer without cloying sweetness, but with all the roasted/chocolate/coffee flavours you’re looking for in your dark beers. Take a Dark Orbit in our space ship to Planet Delicious.

Can from Deconinck. Pours hazy black with a slowly dissipating, frothy, beige head. Aroma of toast, prune, dark chocolate, black tea, walnut, coffee & cream. Taste has sweet dark fruits, chocolate & nuts, bitter toast & coffee with a herbal, earthy-umami edge. Dry, toasty, earthy hoppy finish, coffee & chocolate powder in the back, vague alcohol note. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Perfectly decent Porter.

Tap@Brygg, Oslo. Pours opaque black with medium light brown head. Aroma is intense roasted malt, dark roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, soy sauce, anise and liquorice root. Taste is medium sweet, light to medium bitter, faint acidic and light salty. Body is almost watery with fizzy carbonation. Finish is long and balanced sweet and bitter with notes of roasted malt, espresso, coffee beans, salty liquorice, gravy, soy sauce and hints of vanilla. Great aroma and taste but the palate is a bit thin.
