Oct 21, 2007 Bottle - 500ml. Opaque black body with low carbonation and a thick, lasting beige foamy head. Nica malty/hoppy aroma with roasted coffee hints. Taste is well balanced but lacks complexity. Some cocoa notes are detectable. It ends with a decent bitter/roasty finish. Very drinkable Porter.

Oct 16, 2007 500 ml. bottle. Dark brown color with a tan bumpy head. Aroma of dark molasses and grain, with a bit of an HP sauce or vegemite element. Sweet, cloying molasses malt flavor, dark brown sugar, and dark karo drowning branny grains. No roasty or hoppy bitterness detected here which would be welcome to balance the big sweetness. Lightly syrupy and oily body. Maybe I’m spoiled by the stateside brews, but this is just too sweet and syrupy for my taste. Can barely finish it.

Oct 9, 2007 Updated: Dec 30, 2007500ml bottle.
Very dark brown, red hints, bit bready head. Bacony aroma from the best bottle I’ve had. (but some bottles are a little metalic.) Sweetens to a dunkelbocky maltiness. Taste is mostly a fairly burnt malt, some ash, tar and smoke. Body is also quite bocky. Doesn’t taste like it’s 6.8%. Finish is a mildly bitter burntness. Tasty brew.

Oct 6, 2007 Pours a deep amber with a big this long lasting beige head. Lots of lacing. Aroma is bitter hints of licorice. The flavor is sweet with notes of coffee, chocolate, brown sugar, and malt. Finishes sweet with a slight bitter finish. Sweeter than I expected. Definitely notes of fruit, not earthy, not "roasty". Body is thinner than I expected with a creamy mouth feel with a hint of alcohol. Rich and sweet, a nice porter.
