Using a blend of chocolate, black and amber malts this is a fine dark porter. It has a strong and crisp bitterness. Being a very strong beer it is not what most people would describe as a session beer!.

(Cask at Bishops Arms, Västra HAmngatan, Göteborg) Very dark reddish brown to black color, tan to brown head. Acidic to sour taste, vinous as well. Mostly sour but also burnt and roasted aftertaste. Acidic, metallic and red currant (berries) scent. Also butterscotch. Smooth mouthfeel, lo wbitterenss. A bit harsh bitter sensation that lingers. Perhaps this keg has been infected?
