Jul 25, 2002 TAP- Deep dark black; Fantastic head that was dense and lingered; Wonderful aroma that requires poetry I can’t pull off. Oiliness that swirls in the mouth. A sweetness that is exquisite. Dare I say, better then the Fuller’s- Yes, I will shout it from the mountaintop.

Sep 17, 2005 Chocolate, carmel and raisins jump out on this one, tasted very fresh, probably due to living in California. Very nice on the palate. Very good.

Sep 27, 2005 Updated: Jan 28, 2006Pours near black with reddish hues and a mostly maintained mocha head. Aroma is sweet roasted malts, with notes of vinous wort with chocolate and coffee goodness. Tastes of dark bread with notes of chocolate, earthy toasted malts, caramelized wort, and raisins. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Surprisingly the hops are not overwhelmed by the other beer dimensions. Exceptionally balanced. A mellow, delightful porter.

Aug 15, 2004 BottlePours a very dark brown, with a modest head that fades to nothing fairy quickly. Very light lacing as well. Aroma is a nice dark rasted grain, some licorice and purple graps as well. The flavor is...well...is not there. Some smokey chared taste, with a touch or molassas and malt, but it is very faint. most of it is after a breath or two passes over the tounge. It is smooth, creamy and a bit heavy and rich. Just lacks any real bold flavor. A little of that smokey, char-coal aftertaste and very little hops haning around. Good but not great.

Sep 22, 2008 Bottle. Can’t believe I’ve never tried this... Pour is a dark brown with a beautiful tan head. I’m not seeing any light peek through around the edges. Aromas are week, but dark malt and chocolate are present. Flavor is great... a big mix of chocolate, roasted malt and a dark fruit finish are just what the doctor ordered... Nice and full across the palate.

May 15, 2007 Updated: Apr 20, 2008sweet malty nose. very creamy...a bit too creamy for a porter. flavor is sweet tobacco, nutty, heavy dark malt and more cola than coffee. there’s a slight bitterness on the finish. characteristics of a good stout but a strange porter. where’s the bitter? where’s the coffee?...must do some more research to find out...7/4/7/3/17=3.8
thick viscous pour... nearly impenetrable dark brown topped by a tan head. it’s got a luscious mouth feel. aromas of roasty malt, fresh cream, chocolate and light coffee combine with a strange fruity sweetness. aroma carries through to the flavor along with some molasses then finishes tart and lightly hoppy bitter. i tried hating on this but i can’t... it’s pretty solid. 7/4/7/4/17=3.9
