Slottskällans Black Rocket Porter

Slottskällans Black Rocket Porter (Bottle) 5,5%
This beer was in the temporary news at Systembolaget in October of 2009, priced at 19.80 sek. On the sticker it says this is a modern American porter. The reason this beer looks different from other beers from Slottskällan is that it's a project between Stefan Gustavsson and Wicked Wine. They usually brew their beer at Sigtuna.

Chocolate, coffee, dark bread, something roasted, hops. Fairly high bitterness. The flavour was fairly intense and lasted a long time.

Mouthfeel: 4/5
Fairly smooth with just some bite to it.

Comment:
Despite the low alcohol this beer was quite interesting with allot of flavour. I liked the combo of hops and chocolate, something that I also experienced in Dark Hops from Beer Here. It worked well with chocolate but I think this beer is just as good on it's own.

It's going to be interesting to see what these guys cook up in the future. They are releasing another beer in mars called Mohawk Rye IPA.

Total: 3,6/5
