Medium brown. Aroma hints at dryish, somewhat fruity porter. Soft and sweet. A bit of date? Sweet for a porter, light fruitiness. I get it, but it’s definitely not my type of porter. Goddamn it, kveik yeast.

Can via the online shop. Nearly black. Slim dense lasting pale beige foam. Nose has dates. Light roast coffee malt. Some vinous notes. Touch of vanilla from somewhere. Taste is semi sweet with a light twang of fruity tartness. Good depth of body with fine carbonation. Fruity light tart finish. Dates make me shit.

Keg at Cobbett's, Dorking. Dark and glossy. Dark brown tint. Creamy beige head. Aroma os sweet with a bitter edge. Dark fruits, molasses and coffee. Flavourwise it had low key polite sweetness amd a tangy berry and coffee edge. Underlying smooth creaminess. Medium bodied. Creamy with some sticky residue. Flat-soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable easy going stuff.

Tap at CAJS for the Holy Goat BPBW 2025 tap takeover. Thx Barba, Elena and Vášek! Pitch black body, off-white, thick head. Coffee and something maple-like in the roasty aroma. Lean, dry, sweetish taste, simplistic, coffee roastiness and dates, with light chocolate, solid.
