JorgeLee (2973) - Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 30, 2018Bottle, picked up somewhere in Geneva. Deep reddish brown colour, off white foam. Smooth malty base, sweetish, hint of nuts, nice deep fruitiness from the dates. Touch of tartness and spice to finish. Pretty decent.
rand (2880) - SWITZERLAND - NOV 22, 2017Bouteille 33 cl / Drinks of the World - Bern (CH). Bière brune grenat à mousse beige rugueuse et arômes rôtis de chocolat, fruits secs et mélasse-réglisse. Le goût est doux, chocolaté, avec du caramel-réglisse, de la datte confite, des notes de noix et un amer de rôti-houblon. Le corps est moyen disons, et la finale chocolatée avec la datte et une pointe de vanille. Bien.

PapaCanard (414) - SWITZERLAND - APR 22, 2017Brassée en collaboraton par les Trois Dames (brasserie artisanale) et le distributeur Drinks of the World, cette bière brune à un petit goût de café. Belle robe sombre aux éclats roux, elle laisse une mousse fine se créer lors du passage du verre à la bouteille. Long arrière goût pas désagréable.

Beerkenstock (114) - Baden-Württemberg, GERMANY - FEB 4, 2017Eye: pours a coke like murky brown color with a big lasting beige foamy head and medium carbonation.
Nose: coffee, roasted nuts, raisins, dark malts, vanilla, cereal and yeast
Mouth: coffee, earthy leafs, red currant (after second sip) and unfortunately just a bit watery
Palate: roasted hazelnuts, herbal, earthy malts, redcurrant as well, starts to get dryer in the end
Overall: nice porter with a lovely texture and a superb nose. Taste is good but nothing in comparison with the complex nose.
caribou43 (2456) - Lausanne, SWITZERLAND - JAN 29, 2017I bought this bottle at the drink of the world in Geneva. I drank in the hotel in Paris. In my point of view, it is a delicious porter and it is better to drink it not so cold to enjoy the ingredients. The body is brown and black, thin and white foam, normal carbonation. The taste is well balanced, roasted malt, bread and the dates, hop and there is a perfect mix between the dry finish and the dates. It is a nice porter, next one please!!!!

mmargarucci (343) - Basel, SWITZERLAND - NOV 26, 2016Bottle from drinks of world. Aroma with roasted malt dried fruit and dark chocolate. Taste is rather light for 7% even a bit watery. Lacking complexity. But a nice sweetness from dried fruit combined with dark chocolate bitterness at the end.
