3.8 Bottle at World Cup Qualification - Denmark vs Poland. Dark brown body with a small offwhite head. Coffee beans, milk chocolate, light roast. Good.

3.7 DØE medlemsmøde. Black with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel and fresh ground coffee beans. Dryish roasted flavour with chocolate and coffee. A little thin compared to stronger family members, but it’s got all the right Hoppin Frog goodness.

3.7 Deep dark brown under a thin light beige head. Nice dark roasty nose with a little espresso and light cocoa. Smooth dark and cocoa’d flavor with a little roast and some coffee nuances. Not super dark or strong but has a nice smoothness about it.

3.9 650ml bottle. Dark brown/black with a medium tan head. Coffee, milk chocolate, vanilla and dark fruits. Good.

4.1 Kaffee, schwarze Johannisbeere & ein Hauch Schwarzbrot. Mmmm❤. Beim schlürfen+Waldberry & wahrhaft silkybeany. Elegant, schlank & schmerzfrei. Die fettert im Mundraum bauschig auf ;)...Klasse!!! Bomber Attack from BOXBEERS.COM.

3.9 Pours dark with low light brown head Aromas of roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, hazelnuts, nougat, some dark fruits, caramel Taste has notes of coffee, dark chocolate, dark fruits, caramel, brown sugar

3.4 Bottle (from boxbeers). Pours dark brown with light brownish head. Aroma is sweet, beany, coffee, roast. Flavor is sweet and bitter, sugar, beany-moldy coffee, roast, malt. Overall: ok, but not sure why they decided to ruin their great porter with beany-moldy coffee.

2.8 Liquide brun, foncé et parfaitement filtré, qui lui donne des allures d’un cola plis que d’une bière. La mousse par contre est jolie: abondante, bine mousseuse mais sans rétention. Arômes de vieille poussière (pas de la jeune, non non, de la vieille) et d’un fruit asiatique maladroit. Une épice malveillante en bouche sur trame aqueuse. Un poivron vert, du jalapeno ainsi qu’un café de mauvaise qualité. Sans corps ni densité, sans arrière-goût. Une Lager noire au café?

3.7 (Hoppin’ Frog Cafe Silk Porter) Bottle 650ml at home, served into a snifter, ABV 6.2% Dark brown to black colour on the body, tall beige head on top with good density and average retention. Aroma of green peppers, coffee grounds, light chocolate, cold coffee. Taste of coffee, light milky chocolate, green peppers. Medium body with good carbonation. Good but I expected a bit more.

4.0 Bottle @ Superbowl XLI. Blackish pour with a frothy tan head. Notes of milky chocolate, fruity coffee, light ash, vanilla and a light bitterness. Delicious!

4.0 Bottle shared at THT. Near black with a ring tan head. Aroma of chocolate, light roast, cocoa, light vanilla and toffee. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation.

3.7 Sampled from bottle at THT Februari at "De Zuipschuit". Black with tan head, sweet roasted malts, sweetened coffee. Chocolate. Light sweet and deep dark roast. Medium body and soft carbonation. Nice roasty finish.

4.0 Keg at Himmeriget. Pours deep brown bordering on black with a stable, creamy thick light brown head. Aroma is coffee, cocoa and a hint of vanilla. Taste is coffee bitter, molasses sweet, caramel sweet, chocolate, fruity coffee. Silky smooth mouthfeel.

4.0 Aroma: Medium aroma of malts, caramel, vanilla, cookies, chocolate, roasted malts and coffee. Appearance: Opaque black beer with a slight/medium brown head. Taste/Palate: Starts medium sweet with malts, caramel, vanilla, cookies and chocolate; ends slightly bitter and dry with roasted malts and coffee. Overall: This beer is intense, complex and balanced. Super smooth and the added coffee adds so much flavour. The sweet start also benefits from this, where the loads of vanilla plus the coffee creates some damn tasty chocolate chip cookies. The aroma could have been stronger and the taste even better with some more beer ingredients.

4.0 Bottle @ first Wednesday tasting at De Molen. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, mocha, licorice and roasted malts. Flavor is quite bitter, roasted and very smooth. Great balance.

3.9 From 9th Beer Testing Evening @ Beer Market (Big Black) :: Porter aromatisé-- L’ajout de café à froid rend cette bière fort aromatique. tant au nez qu’au palais sur tout le long de la dégustation. Cette mouture torréfiée supplémentaire apporte une sensation bien dense de Stout ainsi que pas mal de saveurs chocolatées à la noisette cependant sans vraiment contre balancer le fort maltage caramélisé puisqu’il laisse un arrière-goût gras un peu écœurant sur les papilles.

3.6 Keg at The Brewdog, Norwich. Black with tan head. Quite a full on bitter beer, drying, darkly roasted malts, quite tarry with a liquorice edge. Nutty later on. Pretty decent.

3.6 Dark brown (~40EBC), fine tan head, good viscousity. Aromas of cacao powder, roasted coffee, light earthy with hints of wet tobacco retronasal. Fine carbonation, smooth-silky, surprisingly slender bodied. Light chocolate sweetness with roast coffee and burnt toffee bitterness, well balanced. lasting bit astringnent-coffee finish.
