Jobus (7), Chuluota, Florida, USA does not count Oct 21, 2007 Pours very dark brown with think head. Has coffe smell and chocolate taste. Very great taste with smooth ending. One the best beers I have had and thebest Porter I have had. timfoolery (482), California, USA Oct 21, 2007 An excellent porter that has rich flavors of chocolate and malt. There was a limited, bitter hoppy taste after drinking a couple, but this one left me feeling very satisfied. portermax55 (118), Canterbury, Connecticut, USA Oct 20, 2007 12 oz. bottle into pint glass. Pours a dark brown with a light tan head that leaves quickly. Wonderful aromas of cherries, grapes, malts and alcohol. Flavors of sweet grapes, bitter hops, and malt with a caramel finish. Has a full-bodies, rich mouthfeel and goes down exceptionally smooth. An excellent porter. Hammster (187), Eagan, Minnesota, USA Oct 14, 2007 Bottle. Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck. Poured like a stout—black with a grey/brown head. Smells like a stout too—Dark chocolate, malty, and bready. Tastes almost exactly like the Bells Kalamazoo I just finished. Wonderful. Sweet espresso with a slight bitterness and plenty of roasted notes. Finish is roasted malts and a little honey. Sacrament (4), Houston, Texas, USA does not count Oct 14, 2007 Bottle 22oz. My favorite beer I’ve tried so far. Nice dark color, tan head. Pretty easy to drink, a little bit of bitterness, nice finish. Just what I was looking for. DuffMan (2719), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada Oct 13, 2007 Pours a gorgeous near-black brown, deep mahogany at the edges. Light brown head, thick and lacy. Chocolate, faint molasses, subtle fruit note. Initally sweet chocolatey flavour dominates, while a port-like plummy fruitiness sneaks in at the end. Finish is a satisfying stemmy bitterness. Rich and full mouthfeel (in contrast to the Baltika 7 I just finished). Absolutely delicious-- epitomizes what I love about a good porter. davegore (200), liverpool, Merseyside, England Oct 11, 2007 Bottle from a new local indy beer seller. Pours a reddish almost black colour, frothy beige head. Serious liquorice and coffee aroma, strong malt. Very smooth and with an excellent finish. hickey (32), Georgia, USA Oct 7, 2007 My rating may be a little biased. I can appreciate the beer for its strong, chocolate character, viscous body, and dark pour. But I will admit that it is just too sweet of a stout for my taste. As many have said, this is one "black" beer.
