Jul 16, 2005 Very dark brown, with a light brown head. An aroma of roasted malt with a hint of chocolate and coffee. Taste is very satisfying, the full body lingers on the palate, a thick malt sweetness. Has a taste of plum / raisin in the background, with just the right amount of hops for a satisfying finish.

Jul 13, 2005 Opaque, black color with a well-sustained, mocha head. Aroma of dark roast, light smoke, and soft charcoal. Dark, plummy fruit and buttery notes envelop the malt aroma. Flavor contains dark, raisin-like fruit, a touch of stylistically correct charcoal that pairs triumphantly with buttery, sweet caramel, earthy hops, and delicate smoke. Finishes nicely with a touch of dryness that is complemented by a firm and palate-filling malt sweetness. Body is full and round with some silkiness from residual sugar. Overall- I cannot say enough about this beer. There is nothing like having an intoxicating, complex aroma that is backed up by a flavor profile that includes all of the elements of the aroma and a few hidden surprises as well.

Palate is well coated good creaminess num. Flavor is a good smoky rich roasted malt hints of chocolates and a nice mild bitter hop in the finish.

Jul 10, 2005 Couleur brune, semi opaque, peu de mousse brune pale n’adhérant pas à la paroi du verre. Cacao, caramel grillé, vin et fruits rouges sous une faible présence de souffre et de légumes bouillis. Faible en goût, timides fruits rouges et amertume provenant du malt grillé, étalement court, légère carbonatation.

Jul 8, 2005 Nice mix of chocolate, malt, and coffee flavors. Not too strong of taste which I prefer in the porter style. Good appearance with great lace. Bought this one with a mix and match your own six pack. Would consider buying a six pack in the future.
