12 oz bottle. Pours a nearly opaque black/dark brown color with a one finger tan head that has fair retention. The aroma is mild with blackened grains, figs and a bit of dark chocolate. The taste is bitter chocolate in the forefront followed by burnt grains and dark fruits. The palate is full and viscous with soft carbonation. Finishes medium in duration with lingering bitter chocolates. Overall: Decent--Will buy again.

65 cl bottle @ Omenapuutarha. Vintage 2017(?), BBE 2025 Aroma has cocoa, some licorice and toastiness. Flavour has salty licorice, some soy sauce, cocoa and alcohol. Pleasant, sugary sweetness takes over at the middle of the glass and drinkability suffers.

Taster at the Brass Tap. Pours black, with a very small, beige head. The nose is sweet cherries, dates, black bread, bittersweet chocolate, and light ginger. Very sweet, with no bitterness for balance. Medium to heavy body, with a silky, oily, and lightly acidic mouthfeel. This is a smooth, enjoyable, and malt forward porter. Very aromatic, but not terribly balanced.
