Mainly sold in Aldi supermarkets in UK. This pitch-black porter packs a roasted, malty chocolate aroma. Notes of caramel, liquorice, raisins and some cocoa, followed by a creamy and smooth taste. In a universe full of wonders, it's the dark that matters.

Very dark brown with thin head. Aroma has coffee and sweetness like a cappuccino. Similar flavour but also has some dark roasted malt bitterness. Full flavoured.

330ml bottle from my local Aldi store. Poured into a Gordon's thistle shaped glass at home on 27th Nov 2018. Black bodied, beige foaming head; looked good. Coffee esters ruled the aroma, with a vanilla back-up. The taste also coffee first with some sweet vanilla undertone. Fine for a cheap supermarket Porter.

Bottle. Aldi. Clear, dark brown. Swirl of beige. Nose has Easter egg chocolate. Milky coffee. Cocoa. Some dried fruit. Smells a wee bit artificial. Taste is sweet and chocolatey. Some dryness. Light body. Fairly smooth. Low carbonation. Dries out further on the finish. Tasty gear at the low ABV.

33cl bottle from Aldi, Bracknell. An attractive dark reddish chestnut colour with a loose coffee coloured head; aroma of chocolate syrup; watery in the mouth with more chocolate syrup, and little else; then some bitter coffee to finish. Not good.
