Bottle. Blonde. Floral aroma with a hint of citrus. Malty floral, slightly alcoholic flavor. Fairly dry. Decent.

Very dark brown with thin head. Aroma and flavour have some nice bittersweet treacle. Fairly simple but nice.

Sampled at zythos 2018. Thnx for sharing, everyone! Pours black, no real head. Smell is intense. Roasty. Overly use of dark malts. Taste is bit bitter. Very roasty. Unbalanced. Chocolate. Dry. Bit bitter.

T: roasted malts, bit fruity, chocolate, ash, caramel, cocoa, bit coffee, taste is not so sweet as aroma, dry on the palate, bit leather, medium body and medium carbonation, nice balanced cross stout and porter style, I like it, 33cl bottle from ZBF 2018.

28 April 2018, at Zythos Bierfestival. Deputy Taster: Anke.
Porter based on a recipe of Barclay Perkins, dating back to the 18th century. Cloudy black with a lasting, foamy, beige head; little lacing. Aroma of caramel, roasted & salted peanuts, roasted malt, coffee liqueur, figs, black tea, herbal hops, some tobacco (especially when warming up). It tastes medium malty sweet, hints of caramel & nuts, light roasted bitter with a light sour undercurrent. Toasty & caramel-like finish, some peppery hops & slight coffee liqueur. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Drinkable, sweetish, but balanced in the finish.
