Canned, from Systembolaget. Dark brown, rich creamy head. Aroma of hazelnut extract and caramel. Sweet with medium-full body and rounded, somewhat sticky mouthfeel. Lots of hazelnuts, some caramel. Nothing else. Like drinking a chocolate praline. One dimensional and rather infantile. Not that pleasant either.

330ml Can (8%) - Dark brown with some orangey tinges when held to the light. Vanilla, nuts and chocolate in the aroma. Smooth and fairly sweet taste with chocolate, nuts, vanilla and syrup. Easy to drink but feels rather artificial although the can does not state that essences or flavourings were used. Quite nice though!

Keg @ Haket. Hazy golden pour with a frothy offwhite head. Sessionable with a good mouthfeel & solid balanced bitterness but the floral hops doesn't do it for me. Tea & honey. Not very bright.

Can at Nolia Beer. Brown color, small beige head. Aroma is very chocolaty, even artifical. Medium-bodied. Cocoa powder, chocolate, sweet flavour. Quite simple porter for sweet tooth. I am not big fan of this.

Fat på Örebro Ölhall. Djupgul, disig. Doftar sött av tropisk multivitaminjuice, nektarin och passionsfrukt. Tappar lite i smaken. En lite fadd, fruktig sötma och annars något torr och klen. [3.2] EDIT: Testat senare på burk från SB. Växt till sig i jämförelse med sist. Fin, fruktig arom och inte långt därefter i smaken. Mycket mer balanserad och jämn denna gång, vilket skjutsar upp den några snäpp poängmässigt.
