Head is thin beige ring; body deep dark brown, just barely translucent. Faint, roasty, chocolatey aroma. Soft, dry, earthy burnt taste with roasty licorice notes and chocolate. Soft, mild mouthfeel. Dry, chocolatey stale aftertaste. Nice. (0.5pt cask at Ashburnham Arms, Greenwich. Update of an earlier rating from Bishop’s Arms, Gothenburg in February 2006.)

Rating added 1/24/2006Cask at The Bishops Arms, Västra Hamngatan, Gothenburg, Sweden.Almost no head, only the faintest smell, sharp taste that quickly goes away, followed by nothing until a surprising nice aftertaste mellows in. I probably won’t buy it again, but I’m not very used to porters, so might go back and try it once more in a while.3/3/4/3/8=2.1

[Cask at the Danish beer festival] A black beer with a light brown head. The aroma is slightly smoked, slightly metalic and a little flat. The flavor is very soft, somewhat smoked with notes of licorice and somewhat flat. The sweetness lingers on your lips. On my tastebuds this one doesn’t have enough power for a porter.
