(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Pale amber colour with a foamy white head. Fruity nose with malty, slightly sweetish notes of wild berries, orange and earthy hops. Fruity taste with distinct notes of raspberries, hints of orange, caramel, toffee and earthy hops in the finish. Balanced sweetness throughout. A nice, but not overly exciting, bitter with a rather surprising raspberry character.

0.5L bottle purchased from Beverage Castle in Tampa that poured out clear copper with nice lasting off white head. In the aroma I get dark fruit like plums and dates in a cinnamon covered pie. It has a very interesting flavor with cinnamon coated plums and dates then a slice of apple and sweet grape juice. I also get other spices like bits of coriander and maybe cloves. There is an un-mistakable level of tobacco smokiness that seems to ride along as an undercurrent just beneath the other flavors.

Pours a dakr brown, nearly black colour with a very nice aroma of dark chocolate and coffee. Instant bitterness on the tounge is matched by a sweetness and a definite burnt flavour. Coffee beans stay on the palate for quite some time. Really good porter. Plus the Old Slug himself is surely the greatest beer character ever conceived!
