Sep 18, 2007 Dark dark brown with a large foamy tan head. Aroma is espresso and chocolate with a slight smokiness. Thick mouthfeel with lots of dark malts and toasty flavours. Finishes slightly hoppy with a drying bitterness. Nice well made porter.

Sep 16, 2007 Had beer April 1999. Color is a solid black, carbonation looks a bit low as well as head. Aroma is a rich roasted malt scent. Taste is sweet, rich and smooth. It starts with a rich roasted body that goes down smooth. The finish is a wonderful slightly sweet roasted malt flavor that is followed up with an evenly balanced hop bitterness and light hop flavor.

Sep 15, 2007 bottle. pours very dark with a thick tan head which became a 1/4" throughout. Aromas of roasted malt. Overall, a very nice porter - actually one of the best I’ve ever had. Medium body with average carbonation. Flavors of coffee a tad bit of hops. Very good session beer.

does not count  Sep 14, 2007 Pours almost black brown with a large bubbled mocha head. Scents of toasty chocolate and mint with a a lite flavor of roasty coffee and a strange heavy peppermint like overtone that grew on second tasting.

Sep 14, 2007 From bottle. Very much enjoyed this one. Cheer again JoeMcPhee. Charcoal aroma. Black in colour with a decent off white head. Great rich flavour of liquorice, coffee and hops. "Brown sugar never taste so good" Rolling Stones. Decent porter.

Sep 12, 2007 I was excitedly surprised by the beautifull dark pour of this beer with decent head for a beer from a bottle. This had a strong bitter coffee taste that was just on the fringes of being harsh. Some of that harshness is due to slightly too much carbonation. This was a decent beer that I would have again in a pinch.

Sep 11, 2007 Pours extremely dark brown with very little ruby light coming through with a one inch tan head that drops after a short while. Nose is malty sweet, but not very strong in statement. Flavor is robust and matured with slight chocolate and coffee tones...though I think I am drinking this too cold. It is definitely better as it warms. Mouthfeel is thick with a good carbonation and bubbly feeling. Highly drinkable. Could go for this one again, and again, and again.
