Rich porter with complex malt bill that gives the beer great depth and silky smoothness. Nice sweet and soft aroma with coffee, bitter chocolate, cocoa. Flavor is packed with complex chocolate and coffee flavors and has a full finish that even imperial strength beers envy. Checkmate!

Dark brown with a very tall, foamy, beige head. Mocha coffee aroma. Plums and cherries underneath. Taste is bittersweet and reverses the usual course, with the bitterness dominating the first half and the sweetness the finish. Medium bodied with mild carbonation. A good, straightforward porter.

Bottle: Almost black coloured, small tanned head, presumably not completely clear, moderate bitter-sweet nose toasted malt, caramel and brown bread; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, low acidity, medium bodied, pretty smooth; hints of coffee in the slightly lingering bitter-sweet toasty-caramelly finish. A pleasant drop...

Jeg går planke nr. 2 (Tanker krankupp) på SKAAL København aug-18: brunsvart med fint skum som varer. Ettersom alle disse ølene fra Tanker er nytappet og nettopp koblet på har de alle en frisk og innbydende aroma og smak. Her finner jeg kaffe, mørke sjokolader med hint av kanel og kardemomme og et overmodent bjørnebær som lusker rundt i bakgrunnen. Halvsøt afslutning. En god dessertøl med mersmak.
