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. pamoja (57), Rochester, New York, USA Oct 4, 2007 Best porter period! I am a huge fan of this. A highly drinkable porter with rediculous taste! enjoy charlotte (1997), Vanløse, Denmark Oct 3, 2007 Black with large beige head.Slight rosted aroma still mild,with note of coffee and raisin.Smooth mouth feels,but just to thin to be a great porter. Wulfstan (509), California, USA Oct 3, 2007 Updated: Jun 9, 2008This is an outstanding, rich porter. From a bottle this pours almost black with a hint of deep red. It has a thick, beautiful dark beige head which is creamy and long-lived, and leaves excellent lacing. It is rich and full-bodied, with strong, but smooth, well-balanced, and complex flavour & aroma. Incredibly drinkable yet full of rich flavour and with a smooth, strong finish, it is simply incredible. oteyj (716), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA Oct 2, 2007 Updated: Aug 3, 2008Pours a black with beautiful tight tan frothy head. Wonderful aromas of chocolate, rich roasted malt, raisins, with a hint of alcohol, licorice and coffee. Robust flavours of malt, raisin, chocolate, bread, and slight molasses. Smooth, rich, and fillling palate that goes down magically. An absolutely wonderful porter- One of my favorites. Sneed (8), Eugene, Oregon, USA does not count Oct 2, 2007 A very happy surprise, exceeded my expectations. Great flavor, full like a stout. My favorite porter. DownsouthGav (602), Greater London, England Oct 1, 2007 Pours a black/deep brown beer with a beige head. Some roasted malt in the nsoe. Very much a porter with a light body and some hops evident. not bad but certainly not amazing.
BelgianBeerGal (1275), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Sep 30, 2007 Bottled. Poured a very dark brown color with a nice, stable tan head. Aroma was roasted nuts. Very creamy flavor with hints of sweetened chocolate. Very nice porter.
