Orangey chestnut with a pitted head. Floral hops in the nose, with a light biscuity and toasty malt. Hops come to the fore a little more than expected, floral and resiny, followed by a moderately bitter finish all backed up by a nicely toasty malt background. Very balanced altogether, and pretty characterful, not boring.

Bottle thanks to hank1980. Great bonus beer. Pours with a largish, off-white head and a murky amber body. Head leaves good lacing. Aroma of caramel, currants, cinnamon sugar, orange peel and leather. Taste is of apple-cinnamon pie filling, toasted coconut, vanilla, caramel, creme brulee crust, and a touch of alcohol warmth (more than 5.8% normally would). Lightly creamy mouthfeel. Moderate carbonation.

Bottle: Poured a clear black color porter with a medium size foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of dry coffee notes with some subtle black chocolate. Taste is a mix between some chocolate note with some dry coffee and lightly sweet notes at the end. Body is a bit thin with some average carbonation. Very well done overall apart from body too thin.

tap at Trappeze Pours deep black with brownish head. Aroma of coffee beans - mocha, malts Taste is filled with light coffee mocha with a very sweet and thick mouthfeel. Beer has a very subtle creamy feel that reminds me of lactose. Has plenty of roastiness at first followed by savory coffee bean notes. Alcohol remains very well hidden, even at 9.5abv. Finish is lightly bitter and hoppy.

Tap at Trappeze in Athens. Pours amber with tan head. Aroma is very sweet, sugary and almost gives this nice syrupy. Taste, amazing, nice caramel malts and chocolate with notes of fruits and licorice which gives a very sweet mouthfeel with faint touch of spices and cinnamon. Finish is lightly hoppy. Thick on the palate leaving a fruity & syrupy aftertaste.
