dkachur (1070), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Oct 12, 2008 750 mL from stefanje’s AWESOME summer secret santa shipment. Deep, dark reddish brown pour with a medium head that fades to a thin disc atop the beer. Rich chocolate aroma with notes of alcohol, dark fruits and coconut. Taste is roasted malts, espresso, chocolate, dark fruits, some hop notes and warming alcohol. Full bodied and quite nice. A worthy 900th rating. Thanks Stefan!
fiulijn (6010), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Nov 28, 2008 <i>Tasting at Papsoe</i><br />Black color. Very solid brew, strong body, good chocolate flavor (the aroma is simpler), sweet enough, touch of roasted malt, good hopping, strong bitterness and pleasant warming alcohol; powerful. The final has also some roasted nuts Very good. chicagodri (634), Chicago, Illinois, USA Nov 27, 2008 Once again, AleSmith produced some very solid stuff. I am not a huge fan of Porter beers, but this was very good. Nice aroma and flavor of coffee, chocolate, and some dark malt. Just a little bit of bitterness at the end. 10% hidden very well. Good stuff. yespr (7788), Copenhagen O, Denmark Nov 21, 2008 75 cL bottle, courtesy of Papsoe. Pours pitch black with a fully diminished off-white head. Mild spiced and roasted malty aroma.
