Bottle from Offie & Toffee. The head on this porter was a thing of beauty, milky coffee coloured that left a gorgeous lacing down the inside of the glass. A nice roasted malt and coffee aroma and both were amply present in the flavour. The bitter hops were perfectly balanced alongside that strong flavour of malt. The mouthfeel was caressing and lingered long on the palate. The empty glass retained a coating of the porter and it left a rather pretty golden glow when I held it up to the light. This was lovely.

(Bottle) Black colour with dense, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of chocolate, cacao, a touch of pine needles, coffee and black rye bread. Malty, roasted taste with dark chocolate, coffee, cacao, liquorice, tobacco and a fresh piney bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with just a touch of sweetness. Very well balanced. Excellent porter.

On tap @ Copenhagen Beer Celebration. A deep almost murky old brown beer with a small sidesticking khaki head. Aroma is hoppy and roasted, I get chocolate paper and cold coffee, earthy tones and caramel. Quite there on the aroma! It's fantastic in flavor! My god this is tasty! Tons of cold coffee blended with fruity citrusy hops and chocolate! My oh my! This was a true surprise! Really impressed! Leaving a mild dry tounge. Lingering chocolate and coffee. 12.05.2012

Bottle from the Kernel. It pours very dark brown, with a thin beige head. The nose is fresh pine, caramel, roasted malt, earth, bitter chocolate and coffee grinds. The taste is roasted malt, pine, salted liquorice, rich dark chocolate, fudge, earth, resin, tangy dark fruit and grapefruit, with a bitter, roasty finish. Full body and moderate carbonation. Luxurious mouth-feel. Delicious and very well balanced. One of the best Kernel offerings I have had and that’s saying something!
