Jun 24, 2009 Aroma is of chocolate, hops and butter. Taste is also malty and buttery, with notes of chocolate and liquorish. Finish is a bit sharp, bitter and dry. A solid porter, but I’ve had better.

Jun 21, 2009 One of my wife’s favorite beers. I have been rating quite a bit of porters lately, and this one is good, almost a textbook porter. An old school porter in the British tradition. Falls short of Founder’s and Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald, but very drinkable nonetheless. Impressive looking with its dark body and creamy tan head, the aroma is of faint roasted malts and the flavor is mild, oily, malty sweet with some roast and coffee. Finishes with a faint hop dryness. A nice porter.

Jun 13, 2009 Bought at Bierei, Vienna. Deep ruby-black body, small beige head. Fine espresso coffee in the nose with roasted aromas, some caramel-candy sugar, a bit of dried fruits and vanilla. Smooth mouthfeel with sweet-roasted malt, coffee and vanilla. Fine, delicios and easy drinkable.
sallad (110), USA
Jun 12, 2009 Deep clear brown, nearly opaque, ruby highlights around the edges. Thick rocky beige head. Aromas of coffee and charred peanut shells, a touch of honey and cut grass. Burnt sugar flavors, like a marshmallow blackened over a campfire, with vanilla. Crisp bitterness with dark berry and floral notes. Finishes thick around the tongue, leaving caramel that fades to bitter like coffee grounds.
