Bottle, 0.5l. Dark brown pour, two finger creamy beige head. Long lasting, very good retention. Solid lacing as it goes down. Nice on the nose, mild roasty, some subtle fruity notes, cocoa in the background. A bit woody. Thin body, medium carbonation. Light mouthfeel, average texture. A bit on the watery side. Medium roasty bitter taste with slight fruity sour notes. Aroma of caramel and roasted malt, dark fruits and berries. Slight woody notes, a bit nutty. Mild cocoa. Fruity aftertaste. Short to medium finish, mild alcohol presence. Good and easily drinkable porter. A bit on the light side though, definitely not robust. Decent.

Pours almost perfectly clear amber colour, topped with aa medium sized and not really lasting offwhite head. Malty notes with caramel and biscuits in teh aroma, some hay hoppy presence in the back. Gentler malty sweetness upfront, biscuity with balancing medium hoppy bitterness. Peppery finish, lasting aftertaste. Lighter body. Proper. Simple.

Bottle, 0.5l. Cloudy orange pour, minimal soapy white layer on top. No lacing on the glass. Good on the nose, solid amount of hops. A bit of grapefruit and orange peel, mild herbal background. Thin body, soft carbonation. Light mouthfeel, quite watery texture. Mild bitter taste with very subtle sour notes. Aroma is pretty much watered down. Mild caramel in the background, a bit of hops, citruses - grapefruit and orange peel, slight grassy and herbal. Finishes short, bland and empty. A bit dry. Overall, drinkable but unimpressive. Feels quite empty. Mediocre effort.

On tap at the taproom. Pours dark chestnut brown, almost black, topped with medium small beige head, but nicely creamy and pretty lasting. Gente maly nose, some roastiness and a bit of biscuity presence that gets more noticeable as it warms up. Slightly more roasty in teh taste, a bit sweet with biscuity and nutty character and moderate hoppy bitterness with shortr aftertaste. Medium body, but nicely silky. Easily drinkable, though would want more character.

On tap at Ljubljana Beer & Burger Festival, April 2018. Cloudy to opaque orange, small off-white head. Lightly to moderately hoppy, tropical, mango, stone fruit, malty background, also biscuit and dough. Fruit profile nicely balanced. Nice fruity flavours, juicy, malts present, hops are low in flavour. Balance is nice, wonderful mango in the finish. Very smooth and creamy, light to medium body, soft carbonation, moderately fruity finish. Mango presents throughout, not too sweet, maybe some hops would be in order in the flavour. No flaws.

On tap at Ljubljana Beer and Burger Fest, April 2018. Nitro. Wonderful dark brown colour, huge firm creamy tan head. Rich roasty and malty, hints of coffee, dark chocolate, dark fruits, very light molasses, very light phenolic touch. Dry roasty profile with sweet notes of fruit and malts. Medium body, soft to moderate carbonation, nitro takes it a level up. Wonderful creamy texture, lasting finish with a phenolic touch. Very good for the style, minor flaws, very silky and appealing, an Irish delight ;)
