Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A pitch black beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, chocolate, soy sauce, and a bit of smoke, leading to a bitter roasted finish.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockhlm, Sweden.
Black. Deep roasty aroma with hints of coffee. Near full bodied with chewy maltiness and pleasant warming mouthfeel. Well hopped with salty, really bitter finish. A top notch cask porter!
