Bursting with coffee, chocolate and caramel flavours as a result of the complex malt profile. The hops complement the malt flavours for a rich & traditional porter that is smooth and well-balanced.

Negra rojiza no completamente opaca que deja ver ligeramente el color rubi. Aroma muy marcado a chocolate. Exquisito sabor que mezcla bien chocolate predominante con caramelo y postgusto de cafe. Cuerpo moderado y baja carbonatacion que la hace algo aguada pero muy bebible. Buena porter.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel Florentin. Thanks Tom L. Dark brown with a biege head. Lovely aroma of chocolate and cookies, and a bit of coffee. Sweetish flavor with chocolate, some roast, a bit of cookie, and a dry bitterish finish. Medium-bodied. Good.

500mL bottle into a shaker. Pours a deep dark brown to black with a big of a chocolate brown hint when held up to the light. Medium tan head that dissipated quickly. Traditional porter aromas of roasted coffee beans, toffee, and some burnt toast. Flavour again is very traditional porter of the above as well as some chocolate notes, some nice hop bitterness throughout the finish.
