Jun 23, 2008 1 PT 0.9 FL.OZ. bottle from sammy (thanks!), served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. Batch 1B110852. JN15/08.
App.: Very deep brown-black with a slight reddish hue and a decent tan head.
Aroma: Lots of pears and hazelnuts, reminds me of a cream sherry, some raisins and figs, light chocolate, molasses and treacle, a touch of vanilla.
Palate: Medium+ body, basically no carbonation, a bit powdery and slick.
Flav.: More molasses, chocolate and raisins than the nose, the pears and hazelnuts are more subdued, vanilla; fairly sweet, a touch bitter, a touch boozy, with pleasant chocolate and molasses to finish.
A nice example of the style, I think.

Jun 5, 2008 Not under or overwhelming, just enjoyable. A nice bit of roastiness carries you through the entire pint. A bit of dark bready maltiness with some chocolate, jammy dark fruits and a hint of licorice are present as well. Decent.

May 27, 2008 Dark brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma of molasses, caramel, toasted malts and black licorice. Taste of caramel, bread, alcohol, molasses with a molasses aftertaste. A touch watery and the alcohol is too prevalent, made finishing this one a chore. So-so.

May 14, 2008 I really enjoyed this Porter. My sinus’s were a bit stopped up, so I may have enjoyed it a bit more with a clear head. Nice roasted flavor.

May 9, 2008 Very dark reddish brown with large light brown head. Fantastic light coffee and smooth roast in the taste. A bit of dark fruit. Not too sweet. Fucking lovely. Just a very enjoyable, fairly light beer, that gave me what I wanted.
