olden Promise and Vienna malt provide a background for Simpson’s Premium English Caramalt, DRC, Pale Chocolate, plenty of torrified and malted wheat, and a touch of roasted barley. Hopped with classic English varieties Fuggles and East Kent Goldings in the kettle and whirlpool for a balancing bitterness.
Dark black yet bright, rich and round in taste, a smooth mouthfeel with a dry ashy finish. Subtle bitterness with roasty notes, nutty and chocolatey aromas, hints of coffee and burnt sugar.

Can from Havnens Vin og Tobakhus. Pours dark cola brown with large offwhite head. Aroma is roasted malt, iron, and mint. Taste is medium to very sweet, medium bitter, and faint acidic. Body is dry and chalky with light carbonation. Finish is long and balanced sweet and bitter with notes of roasted malt, rye, biscuits, white sugar, coffee and hints of campfire smoke. Not very Christmasy, but it's a nice porter.

0.33l can. Aroma of roasted malt, cappuccino, chocolate, caramel and nuts. Pours pitch black color with thick soapy light brown head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with rich roasted malt and bitter chocolate, following is ashy, nutty and dried fruity, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is dry and bitter. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Christmas time, finally…

Lite kärvare porter med hårdrostade smaker av bitter choklad, lakrits och bränd brödskorpa. Men en lätt karamellsötma balanserar och den är inte svår. Trevlig
