355 ml bottle @ Patricks. Clear dark brown body with a medium sized tan head. Aroma has chocolate with mild, smooth roasted malt and hint of coffee. Flavor is a bit dry, or dusty cocoa powder, smooth malt, milk chocolate, hint of coffee and low bitterness. Medium body and nice chocolate/coffee aftertaste. A nice beer that feels more like a sweet brown ale than porter.

Bottle, at Patrick’s. More or less black in colour, topped by a dense finger thick beige head. The aroma has some more vanilla than I prefer, with roasted malts, chocolate and a touch of coffee. Milk chocolate. The flavor is more coffee forward, still with chocolate in abundance. Full body and soft carbonation, rather sweet. Ever lasting chocolate and vanilla finish. Nice indeed, but demanding to drink. 151022
