A porter inspired by brewing tradition, with hearty dark grains meeting bright, fragrant hops. The result is a journey of chocolate, coffee and light roasty depth, balanced and enhanced by piney, resinous and grapefruit high notes. Drinkable and delicious.

Can. Quite a nice hoppy porter with a light chocolate and caramel malt base and some good hops, herbal and lightly fruity. I feel like this should have had a slightly higher abv; as drinkable as it is it does verge on being a bit watery. Nevertheless good flavour here and it is very drinkable.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Clear deep brown beer, very thin pale tan head. Boxy thin malts, a little almost oxidised caramel and apologetic dark chocolate. Light finish. Inoffensive but also a bit lame. Wants to be a quaffable dark beer but, ultimately fails to satisfy in most departments.

Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spattered with a roasted coating allied to balanced earthy hop bitterness. Solid hoppy porter ... akin to the Kernel series and approaching a CDA!

Draft. A black beer with a thick brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, straw, and dark chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, dark chocolate, hops, pine needles, and straw, leading to a bitter finish.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark brown, almost black, with fine brown foam. Aroma is dark chocolate, coffee, herbaceous. Body is slightly thin, smooth, with rather moderate carbonation. Taste is a very nice mix of bitter and roasty, with nice persistence in the final.
