Draught at Big Ridge, Surrey, BC
Black color; persistent creamy head. Light aroma of ashes. Weak body, with some roasted malt (acceptable), but also a too high ash and dust feeling (disturbing). The final is sharp and metallic. Not a bad beer, but a bad execution.

This was my first introduction to porters and is still a very good one. Nice dark coffee taste with aromas of burnt barley, but still very drinkable, and also nice and thick! A surprisingly good porter in spite of it being brewed halfway across the world.

Bottle from Kappldav123, brewed under license by Gambrinus Nagold. Best before august 1991, so almost 20 years old! Deep dark brown color. Still a small head and carbonation left. Sherry aroma with dark chocolate and grapes. Flavor has thinned considerably, but still has creamy chocolate, grapes, the last remains of roast, dust, sherry and strawberry. Has matured way better as expected. Past its peak, obviously, but carries the years gracefully.

Hazy gold,lasting tan head. Yeasty banana nose.Spicy yeasty, citrus palate, banana overtones
