UPDATED: JAN 7, 2022 Copenhagen 7/1 2022. 33 cl bottle from Mikkeller & Friends Bottleshop, Torvehallerne, Kbh. K. Brown rough label with simple black writing. Just the name of the beer and brewery. Pours opaque dark brown with a big beige head. Settles as thin, frothy and consistent layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Massive lacing. Aroma is medium intense with a sweet, malty and roasted odor mingling with fresh citric notes. Brings a Black IPA to mind. Dark roasted malts, caramel and dark chocolate. A whiff of grapefruit and citrus. Light carbonation. Medium thick, oily, soft, smooth texture. A bit flat but pleasant. Flavor is fairly intense with a fairly strong sweetness followed and balanced by a medium strong bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter. Lingers for a while. Finish is dry. Nicely balanced between the sweet and toasty and the bitter and citric. Good one.

UPDATED: MAR 7, 2021 50 cl bottle (bottling date 2020-11-11, BBD 2021-11-11), bought from Hop Burns & Black, drunk at home 2021-02-18. Hops in this gyre - Centennial, Nelson Sauvin and Mandarina Bavaria. Appearance is a surprising opaque black with a very thick and incredibly dense coffee-crema-coloured head on the surface that lingers a reasonable amount of time. Could be visible carbonation, but who knows?! It's so dark you'd never see it. I actually really like this style of appearance for a dark beer - just slightly surprising on a porter which I'd expect to be a bit lighter. Aroma is playing heavy on the roasted malts. Burn and char rather than toastiness for sure. There's a hint of spice and a touch of something else - maybe coffee beans? Or very dark dried fruits? It's rather nice, but it is a bit one-note and fainter than I'd expect. Taste is bolder. Strong note of dark chocolate, some lighter coffee, a very - very - slight caramel hint and a fair whack of roasted bitterness towards the end. It's quite well-balanced and pleasant - I expected more char after the nose, but pleased it's more subtle instead. Palate is practically perfect. Silky smooth round and full-bodied in the mouth with a touch of in-mouth carbonation playing on the tongue, before a long cleaner but drying finish. For this flavour palate, I don't think I could identify any ways it could improve. Overall, this is clearly an exceptionally well-made beer. Great colour with a well-held head and a perfect palate. But something about it just isn't doing it for me. Maybe I'm just not a really dark porter fan, given I like the fruity notes of most porters. Worth a try definitely to see if it appeals. Just not quite my cup of tea.

UPDATED: JAN 27, 2021 Żywica, iglaki, paloność, kawa w aromacie. W smaku bardzo podobnie, nie za dużo ciała, smukłe, finisz bardzo palony i żywiczny. Piwo świetne, intensywne.
