Dark, almost opaque ruby-black color, good cloudy brown head. Coffee and dry yeast in the nose. Light to medium bodied. Chocolate, cold coffee in the flavor. Short finish. Quite simple.

500ml bottle from Brewdog shop @ vPBF
Pours pitch black with a large foamy head. Aroma of roasty malts, hints of chocolate, fruity hops and coffee. Taste is heavy on CO2 and quite roasty with hints of chocolate, coffee and mild notes of fruity hops. Finish is fruity and roasty with some dark chocolate and coffee notes. Okay, but too carbonated.

0.5l bottle from BrewDog Camden. A massive everlasting and thick lacing foamy tan head arises from the glass on top of a deep dark body. The aroma is roasty with coffee and chocolate. Also a bit bitter, wet rocks, some soy sauce and a hints of leather couch and gunpowder. The flavor has lots and lots of burned bitter malts! It's filled with soy sauce and Belgian bitter chocolate. It's low on the carbonation and extremely slick in the mouthfeel. Lasting bitter and not least burned aftertaste in this one. My, oh my. A lasting sipper with tons of flavor! 01.08.2012

Pours black with a large, tan head.Nose shows dark chocolate, peppery hops, roasted coffee beans and roasted malt.Equally roasty flavours, focussing of coffee and roasted malt rather than chocolate though. Very smooth stuff, but becomes a little more bold in the dry finish.Could use a richer body.

28/06/2011 Brasserie 4:20 (500ml bottle). Nera, intensa, con riflessi bruni, buona schiuma bianco sporca abbastanza persistente. Aroma intensissimo di malti tostati e luppolo, meravigliosamente ben bilanciati tra loro. In bocca ha un esordio dolciastro, in cui si riconoscono note di malti tostati, cioccolato e caffè, e un ben finale amaro intenso ma assolutamente non invadente. Copro medio, carbonazione corretta. Una delle migliori porter mai assaggiate finora.

Bottle in Rome during Mes’ stag do. Blak beer lasting tan head. Bit of choc but again it is oxidised. Not travelled well. Good choc flavour though. Again should be good. 3 for the good choc falvour.

(bottle) Poured very dark brown but clear, similar to black coffee. The head however was ridiculous - even with very careful pouring I had to use two pint glasses. Aroma is burnt caramel with some raisins. Full bodied but overly fizzy. The flavour has a nice start with roast malt and bitter chocolate but these harsher burnt bitter tastes develop too much giving a harsh finish of burnt caramel / black treacle. Possibly I started drinking this at too cold a temperature, as when it warmed up the flavour was a bit sweeter and less harsh. Overall this beer doesn’t work for me: too much in the way of harsh burnt flavours and over carbonated.
