355ml Can - Black with a foamy head. Coffee, liquorice and some earthy notes in the aroma. Coffee, vanilla and chocolate all feature in the taste. Some earthy hints are present but are not as evident as in the aroma.

0.355l can. This one pours a more or less coffee brown colored body. It has a nice big almost fluffy looking brown head - leaving some mild dots down the glass sides. Smells nice. Not too extreme, but I get a surprisingly good amount of hops. Chocolate and wrapper. Cocoa and some mild espresso. Sells quite good, nothing extraordinary though. Tastes good. More roasty in the taste. Almost a little charred. Lots of chocolate wrapper and nuts. It's mild or even thin oily in the mouth and it's just about average on the carbonation. Nice little sweet milky coffee in the finish. Smells and tastes good. 11.02.2017

355ml can @ Kaisla. Pours pitch black with a smooth brown head. Aroma of roasty coffee, chocolate and espresso. Taste is smooth, roasty and sweetish with loads of coffee, espresso and hints of chocolate. Finish is smooth, slightly roasty and heavy with coffee notes. Quite tasty coffee porter.

28.01.2017, 12 oz can @ hotel room in Bergen:
Nice light brown slightly fizzy-creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet roasted, dark malts, dark sugar, caramel, coffee, roasted grain, chocolate, toast, nuts, grass. Taste is slightly dry sour-ish roasted, weeds, roasted grain, nuts, coffee, caramel, toast, dark malts, cocoa, grass, lactose. Medium bitterness, slightly watery and sour-ish roasted mouthfeel. Fair enough.

Can 355ml (Ravintola Kirjakauppa). Dark brown color, small brownish head. Coffeish aroma, toasted, a bit bready. Medium-bodied. Toasted flavor with coffee, cocoa. Mellow, a bit rye bready. Excellent balance, needs just a bit of to aftershow.

Can - Dark roast and some chocolate notes, but coffee is a bit hidden. JHet brown with a rich light brown head. Dark roast and lots of chocolate, but honestly I just don’t get the coffee. The palate is also on the light side.

Can from Beer Gonzo. Pours black with a beige head. Good head retention. Plenty of dark roast coffee in the nose with a splash of vanilla and chocolate. Smooth coffee flavour particularly in the aftertaste. Bit of dark chocolate and raisin in there too. Very dry roasty finish. Tasty.
