From 2017. Very roasty, bitter chocolatey caramel with a rocky head. This one easily stood for 7yrs. Fantastic! Is it a stout or a porter tho… hmmmm. Thx Craig.

Bitter notes from the massive amount of roasted grains. A very strong porter.

Zero foam. The bottle says it is from Belgium. I like a roasty porter and this one, almost to the point of being burnt but not bitter. Ends lightly sweet. Paired with Red Breast 12 and Horrified!

Viscous and pitch black, it says “American-style porter” but almost drinks like a Russian imperial stout.

Füles

Íze erősen pörkölt, már túl van a feketekávés jellegen is. Picit édeskés, kevés karamellel, és persze füstös.

Smager betydeligt bedre end den med chili, men stadig en skør øl

This one has some age, buried in the collection for who knows how long… Roasty, dry; hints of cocoa; licorice?;

Thick heavy, with lightly roasted coffee and bitter chocolate notes. Smooth, rich and full bodied.

(2017) W aromacie głównie czekolada, praliny, słonecznik, żywica. W smaku sporo słodyczy, czekolady, cappuccino, iglaków. Solidna, żywiczno palona goryczka, Niskie do średniego wysycenie, półpełne, wyklejające w odbiorze. 3.9

This has a very much roasted, dry taste with a boozy finish. You bag that black ball first thing and you’ll lose the game.

Повезло, что в Бороде на складе завалялась эта выдержанная несколько лет бутылка. Сначала алко во вкусе было, но через 15 минут ушло. Аромат яркости выше средней горького шоколада и кофе. Сбродило в сухари просто. Тело средней плотности.
