Bottle. Sweet raisin and paper aroma. Clear very dark brown colour, almost no head. The flavour has a lot of raisin, is very sugary and has a citric note to balance. Perhaps a roasted hint somewhere, but that does not really make it taste a lot like porter.

Bottle. Sweet, buttery aroma. Clear brown colour. Sweet flavour, OK bready. Raisin notes and a lemony finish. Good as a soft drink.

8/XI/12 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 18/I/13 (2012-1254) Thanks to Koen M. for the bottle!
Clear dark brown beer, small aery beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very aged, like an old Westy (probably cause that's a beer I regularly taste at 4 y.o.), yeast, some bread, rum raisins, orange peel, caramel, brown sugar, dried figs. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very sweet and sugary start, caramel, orange peel, some citrus, brown sugar, very sweet. Aftertaste: candied oranges, Madeira, very sugary and sweet. If it would have been less sweet, it would be nice, great even. But it's not.

0.33l bottle from trade with ElDesmadre. It pours a dark red-brown body with a small quickly fading off-white head. On the aroma this one is kinda bready and malt sweet with a good dash of both candy and caramel. Quite sweet in other words. It tastes also quite sweet. Really caramelized flavors! My lord! It has a burned bready - almost like a malty liquid rye bread! I also get a strange acidity - almost artificial acidity in the finish. A strange one, and definitely a bit to ehhm.. sweet for my tounge? Tried to take it on for what it is, but sorry, there is no way I can drink this. 06.04.2012
