Bottle 0.5l. Clear, dark-brown colour. Short, beige head. Good lacing. Aroma is full of dark, bitter chocolate, cacao and subtle note of vanilla. There is also a lot of cocolate and cacao in taste. Beer is medium body, bitter at the beginning and sweet in aftertaste with a little bit astringent finish. It warms inside and burns a little bit in the throat but all is very nice. Decent porter with very clear notes of added ingredients especially cacao nibs.

"Is there any Big Pigeon Imperial Nibs in that chilly bin?" would be a good Kiwi shibboleth. But so would "shibboleth". Bottle. Dark brown with a small light tan head that’s soon less than a coat. Earthy aroma of chicory, chocolate, light roast, coconut, vanilla. Lightish bodied. Dark sugars, coconut, vanilla. Dry with some herbal and burnt notes along with a fair bit of bitterness at the end. Body and richness are missing here - I can imagine what’s here as accents in a really good beer.

500ml bottle. Aroma is coconut, chocolate and vanilla. It’s like a dark bounty. Flavour is thick, sweet, bitter. Huge chocolate, huge toasty coconut and a sweet vanilla finish. I am embarrassed about how much I love this.
