330 ml can, from Être Gourmet, Belgium. ABV is 4.1%. Very dark brown colour, moderate beige head. Nice aroma of roast malts, mild coffee and chocolate. The flavour is slightly on the dry side, with the same elements as the aroma, moderate bittering hops.

28/1/2021. Can from Beermoth, Manchester. Pours black with a frothy beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, ash, dark chocolate, coffee, plumy dark fruits, vanilla. Medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Quite a light body, and a little watery, even allowing for its abv. Nice aroma but faded to finish a bit bland.

Can from my brother at Christmas, drunk while cooking tasty salmon. Dark brown, light tan moderate head. Light Choco roast aroma. Flavor is okay, smooth roast, but a bit light on the body - to be expected with 4%. Good as a session beer.

(Draught at King's Arms, Bethnal Green, London, 23 Nov 2019) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of coffee, chocolate and dark bread. Malty, roasted taste with coffee, dark chocolate, dark bread and a balanced roasty bitterness in a dry finish. Medium body, quite dry. Solid and well made porter. Very nice.

Kawa, zboze, palonosc, wodnistosc. Krafcik te lekkie piwerka czesto duzo lepiej ogarnia. Szkoda. Znaczy zadnej krzywdy nie ma, ale dobrze nijak nie jest. I jeszcze dziwny posmak, jakis taki plastikowy
