(Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 14 Sep 2022) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with coffee, dark chocolate and black bread. Malty, roasted taste with notes of coffee, dark chocolate, liquorice, dark bread and a balanced roasty bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Really tasty and well made porter. Very nice.

Just as good as I remember it was when it came out originally - took me back to the night at Galaxy Hut where I had the original on tap.
