Pours pitch black with a large, dark tan head.Mixed aroma of heavy roasted malt and hops. Mainly pine and grapefruit in regards to the hops, along with some peppery notes.Flavours follow along the same lines. Intense roasty malt (but with little complexity) followed by pine and a full-on roasty and hoppy bitterness.Could use a more syrupy body.Not particularly complex in terms of roast and hops, but still very enjoyable.

Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. As expected, a dark mahogany pour, quite frothy and some lacing. No real aroma worth writing home about it must be said. Served a little too cool i feel which perhaps masked some of the flavours, but there is a hint of coffee there and a spicy aftertaste. It's a fine beer and I'd be pleased if I'd brewed it myself, but there are better "robust" Porters out there. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle, 11C. The image of Ned in cycling keks remains disturbing. Black with a large light tan head that fades but never disappears. Fruity aroma of nectarines, kumquats, pepper; some toffee and chocolate peek out underneath. Silky and really quite intriguing texture, low carbonation. Alcohol not noticeable. Sweet with stone and some tropical fruits, chocolate, citrus, pepper, anise, a little tingly Sichaun pepper. No particular roasted flavours. Bitter and quite spicy at the finish. Considerably more harmonious than I remember the original.

Pours gold with a large, fading head.Nose shows fruity, floral and spicy hops, creating a green, plant-like impression. Underneath is soft bready malt.Very hoppy flavours, mainly showing spicy and herbal notes. Afterwards there’s some bready malt and a bold bitterness in the clean, dry finish.Well-suited light body and high carbonation.

Pours deep hazy gold into a tulip. Fluffy white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Sweet bready caramel, tropical fruit and resin aromas. Crisp with hay, mango and bubblegum upfront turning dry in the lasting bitter lemon pith finish.

From a 330ml bottle on 1/7/2012. Pours a slightly cloudy, very light straw colour with a smallish head. Almost looks a bit like a wit. There’s not a lot in the aroma, with just a hint of nuttiness. The taste follows suit. You get the some chestnut and grassiness, along with a reasonably firm bitterness. Fairly average. Rating 2.8.

Re-rate 25/1/2014. Was perhaps a touch generous the last time.

Tasting at Papsø’s, 8% ABV
Black color, with generous brownish head. Strong aroma of cardboard, cream, some sourness. Thinner mouthfeel, with sour roasted malt flavor; light chocolate, medium-low bitterness; maybe something else as well, but frankly undrinkable. Must be spoiled.

Tasting at Papsø’s
The color is almost black, with compact beige head. Nice roasted malt aroma, a bit cheesy, cardboard. Good dark chocolate flavor, roasted malts, ashes, burnt coffee; good body strength; correct bitterness. But overall nothing special.
