taalhiker (179), Dayton, Ohio, USA Oct 3, 2008 From bottle. Poured dark brown with thin brown head. Big chocolate and coffee smells. Sweet coffee flavors with a chocolate finish. Classic Anchor. Quevillon (1516), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Oct 2, 2008 Bouteille de 1Pt et 6oz, acheté à City Market (Burlington, Vermont) le 25/9/08. Brune cola, moyen collet. Arome de malte cafiné, avec des notes de ptits fruits alcoolisé. Goût bien malté, sensation de choco café, avec une finission de fruits rouges légèrement sûrette. Un bon porter malté et un peu sucré, simplement agréable! nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a thin brown head into an English pint glass. Aroma of malt, chocolate and coffee. Flavor was awesome with balanced malt and coffee tones with a chocolate finish. Great beer. liinis (695), Helsinki, Finland Sep 27, 2008 dark brown colour, light brown good head. Very nice hops - a bit of bitterness. roasted, sweet malts. some mocha. very good palate. absolutely enjoyable. wyzzywyz22 (754), Wirral, Merseyside, England Sep 25, 2008 Bottle, Ale Cellar, Darlington. This is a little cracker. Poured a rich, very dark brown with a nice lingering creamy tan head. Aroma was knoclout, and had malt, chocolate and burnt orange. Flavour was just as good and was wonderfully balanced and intricate. Loads happening with the malt, hops, chocolate and coffee all superbly poised. Hop bitterness spot on. Absolutely tasty. timsilvia32 (445), from Michigan now in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA Sep 24, 2008 Nice muddy brown pour. Tannish colored head. Roasted aromas, malt, charcoal. Flavor has what you would expect, roasted malts and coffee with nice mocha tones. A little more carbonation than I would like, but it doesn’t seem to hurt this one too much. Finish clean. Nice standard medium bodied porter. MrBunn (1520), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 22, 2008 Bottle. Can’t believe I’ve never tried this... Pour is a dark brown with a beautiful tan head. I’m not seeing any light peek through around the edges. Aromas are week, but dark malt and chocolate are present. Flavor is great... a big mix of chocolate, roasted malt and a dark fruit finish are just what the doctor ordered... Nice and full across the palate. s01gs (17), Göteborg, Sweden Sep 21, 2008 Fairly good sand brown head topping a dark roasted like brew. The nose is a mix of coffee, dark chocolate and some raisin. Flavour is some caramel and cocoa. Bitter and slightly sweet.
