Very nice soft sweet aroma of roasted malts, brown sugar and vanilla. Incredibly soft mouthfeel, light carb. Satisfying sweet roasted malt finish with a lovely vanilla sweetness. Nice stuff.

Nice does of roasted malts, touches of cocoa and a hint of bitter lemon. Flavor is finished with some light soy and touches of licorice. Reminds me alot of a robust porter.

Bottle from a Spar shop. Pours a clear amber with no head at all. Aroma of sweet malts, caramel, nuts, light grassy and herbal hop. Taste is also very malty and caramel and nut noted but there is a nice level of bitterness running through and is quite clean tasting. Body also has a nice smoothness and a zingy carbonation which works well with it. Quite nice.

Bottle from Lidl. Pours near black, small beige head, quickly fading head. Metalic aroma with chocolate and vanilla. Taste of light roast, sweet vanilla, some chocolate, some grass and bitterness in the finish. Light bodied. Sessionable but not the best porter.
