Valsviken Vinterporter

Apperance: The beer is very dark, almost black with hints of ruby, a tan head that leaves a small lacing. Curtains are seen. (4)
Aroma: Smells sweet, candy-like, banana, then a bit of sour cream and burnt toast. (3)
Taste: The taste is mainly sweet brown bread, dried fruits, raisins and figs, vinous, sherry and a mild bitterness. (3.5)
Palate: Little carbonation, soft and round, in all smooth to drink. (4)
Overall: Very different smell and taste, somewhat confusing. Wonder what will happend after storing a few years? (3.5)
