5.9/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Bottled. Black colour with red hints, brown mediumsized head. Vegetably malt in aroma along with metallic hints. Vegetables and a bit coffee in flavour. Weak roasted malt in aftertaste, but I doubt this has anything to do with a porter...

Bottled (BB 05/2006)
Almost opaque black, good tanned head. Very metallic malty, slightly roasted and grassy hoppy aroma. Medium-bodied, dry, slightly roasted. Lacks character and needs higher ABV! This is actually dark lager, not porter.

Bottled. Pale yellow with fizzy, brief head. Aroma of apple and toffee. Sweet and raw, heavy on vegetables, cider and glue. Sharp, fizzy mouthfeel. Offensive and only consisting of flaws with no redeeming features.
