unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA Aug 21, 2008 Pours black from the bottle with a huge light brown head. Beautiful roasted aroma. On sight alone this looks this a nice thick porter. Surprising that the appearance and the flavor do not match. The first sip is pleasant and roasty...hints of chocolate and molasses. This is wonderful. The initial flavors though do not finish strong for my tastes MitchWayne (264), Kokkola, Finland Aug 20, 2008 Chocolate aroma, slightly smoky, sweet. Chocolate taste, nice bitterness in the end along with sweet notes. I like this a lot more than in the first try, the mouthfeel is soft and rich. A very good beer. rayOfBeer (316), El Cerrito, California, USA Aug 19, 2008 Poured from tap black with a mocha colored medium sized head. Aromas of sweet malt and roast grain. Flavor is mildly sweet with malt, toffee, soft roast grain and coffee. Palate has a smooth feel with a light grain bitter-sweetness at the end. Not too thick, not too thin. Great porter for most occasions. Borresteijn (1347), Amstelveen, Netherlands Aug 18, 2008 On tap. Dark brown/black beer, beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, coffee. Flavour is sweet, caramel, coffee and bitter roasted malts. Bittersweet finish. NomDeBeer (397), Maryland, USA Aug 15, 2008 Remarkably complex flavor - toffee, chocolate, ripe fruit, peanut brittle, hoppy bitterness, and even a touch of alcohol. Could use a bit more body, but I’m not complaining. Good beer. alexsdad06 (1056), Ohio, USA Aug 15, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours dark brown with a large creamy beige head. The aroma is chocolate, barley, slight roast, and dark fruit. The flavor has creamy semi sweet chocolate, cocoa, dark fruit, anise, and a nice touch of bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied, smooth, very enjoyable. Nothing is over the top, just a well crafted porter 944play (64), Santa Rosa, California, USA Aug 14, 2008 Updated: Aug 18, 200922oz in mug. Dark chocolate brown and lots of tan head. Pleasingly dry, medium body. Toffee, amaretto, and toast notes throughout. Totally delicious and drinkable. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Aug 6, 2008 (Bottle). Mild sweet cocoa aroma. Black color with a lovely deep tan creamy head. Flavor is malty and sweet milk chocolate, not much bitterness. Some nuts in the finish. Not a porter that makes a huge "notice me" impact, but nonetheless extremely drinkable and pleasing.
