0.5l bottle that ogivlado brought from Wien and shared with heavy and me (thanks!). Poured a lovely murky orange body with a thick chalky white head that took its time to go away. Lovely aromatic hop nose, fruity, agrumey, some honey too. Taste.... fruity herbal-piney hopiness, lovely. Sweet maltiness, light and in the background. Not too bitter, subtle. I didn’t expect much after that Porter they make, but this is definitely a tasty beer.

Bottled(500ml). -I was very happy when I’ve found this porter. I opened it and try with Marko...few seconds of silence and then... WTF is this??? Total lack of everything here...in my English porter from Jackson’s 500 Great Beer Guide...This can’t be true. Dark brown coloured, medium to big beige head, light roasty nose. Light roasted malt, some caramel, extremely watery and nothing else. Maybe something weak similar to kelp. Once again- huge disappointment.

Bottled(500ml). -Almost black coloured, big creamy brown head, fruity nose with touch of wood. Strong roasted malt, light smoked, and fruity notes with very discreet blackberry hints. Pleasant roasty aftertaste. Better than Honey Porter I’ve tried before.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado who found it in Wien (thanks!) Bottle conditioned, eh? Humm. Poured an extremely dark brown body with a fine off white head that went away slowly. Nice. Proceeded to smell it expecting at least some solid roasty maltiness and got... nothing. What little there is and that I might’ve imagined (that’s how light it was) is some dark malt. And then I tried it and tried it again and was baffled. The bottle looks nice, the beer looks nice. It’s bottle conditioned. How the hell did they manage to make it taste this.. weak and plain. Light caramel, very light milk, dry, slightly bitter. Extremely light roast. Wow what a failure. I can imagine that we just ran into a bad bottle but for over four euros a bottle, I doubt we’ll be having it again.

Wow, first thing I noticed was the amazing apple overtones to the taste, you can almost taste a cider inside the IPA, one of the most unique IPA’s ive evr had, finishes great, a wonderful find.

Bottle, shared by KnutAlbert. It’s looking quite nice in the glass, with a clear, golden-orange body under a finger-thick off-white to beige head. Malty-sweet nose with some licorice and alcohol. Some roasted notes too. Caramel, roasted malt, sweetness, dried fruits and alcohol in the mouth, full-bodied, sweetish and warming. Bitter finish with some alchol. Rather unusual to experience an English dubbel, but it was quite nice. Imagine a deep chair, a good book and an open fire. And preferably an even better beer... ;-) I could settle with this one though. (081215)

Cask at Spuyten Duyvil - hazy gold beer - the smell is peaty, earthy, and slightly medicinal - the flavor is kind of the same - dry, scotch-like, mildly medicinal, buttery/bready - the back end is some dryer kind of british maltiness (marris otter or golden promise) - fairly bitter in the long term, with lingering hops - diacetyl on the back end - a little bit of a mess for me.
