What Our Editors Thought
“Chocolate in the nose, with notes of lavender, grape, and a touch of scented marker—unusual yet alluring. Wide and woody, husky chocolate bitterness in the sip, with a roasted edge. Toothy and full.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Dark brown with a fleeting light brown head. Classic nutty, porter aroma of coffee, chocolate, toffee. The taste tracks with the nose: baker’s chocolate, toffee, roasted malt. Low bitterness results in somewhat sweet mouthfeel.”
What the Brewers Say
“Complex notes of biscuit, caramel, chocolate with a silky mouthfeel and velvety finish.”
