Shared bottle at local tasting. 5.8% ABV. Black colour, moderate beige head. Malty aroma, notes of caramel and chocolate, mild roasty notes. The flavour has much the same elements as the aroma, but is a bit too sweet.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75
Look: Almost opaque, very deep red, with a white head.

Smell: Sweetness, coffee, some herbal notes

Taste: Bittersweet, coffee and dark chocolate with some earthy, planty notes. The aftertaste has that somewhat acidic taste of strong, French pressed coffee.

Feel: Light body, normal carbonation, creamy mouthfeel followed by a crisp refreshing feel.

Overall: Nice refreshing porter!

From Beergium. In Teku glass. Playing Avernum 3. Really good example of a porter, with a smooth palate and chocolately flavors. Really drinkable

Poured from a 12oz bottle with a best by date of 5/29/18; into a pub glass.
Appearance- a dark cola brown with plenty of streams of bubbles that hold a thin beige head. Lacing is beautiful!
Smell- a very sweet and enticing combo of milk and dark chocolate!
Taste - there’s a very nice bitter flavor profile from the chocolate, a bit of coffee and a touch of hops!
Feel - medium body, good carbonated mouthfeel and very easy to drink, even at almost 7%!
Overall - this is a terrific porter that is underrated in my opinion. I rarely drink porters, so I realize I haven’t come across some of the best, however, this is wonderful in almost every category!
