jetboy (32), USA Feb 8, 2008 Very good porter with an absolutely beatufil black color topped off with a strong beige head. Great malty flavor with a nice hops finish. Big body to go with the big taste. Much better than its more well known brother Steam. AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Feb 6, 2008 Black with a thin tan head. Mild roasted malt and black licorice aroma. Med body and smooth. Has a rich , hearty taste of blackened malts with a hint of herbal hop sweetness to finish. Good stuff. 8905 masto (77), Helsinki, Finland Feb 6, 2008 Very dark brown color with delicate and thin head. Very malty, burned, even a bit stinging aroma with a hint of chocolaty liquorice.
Superb, creamy soft mouth feel with low carbon dioxide. Most drinkable (good) porter I’ve had due to the softness and lack of any strong-tasting characteristics. Aftertaste is hops and coffee, but a bit thin. Gets sweeter as it warms up.
A balanced beer but lacks complexity and real character. Good first porter. 060208 mrw1zard (54), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Feb 6, 2008 Very nice porter, at first it had a strong aftertaste of alcohol, but that diminished after a few drinks. Several burnt flavors mixed in well together - more of an alcholoic mocha taste to it.
