| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Sep 30, 2008 No head, dark brown, almost stoutish in color, some lacing. Aroma is a sour, nutty malt. Burnt nut is the dominant flavor, hoppy, but balanced by thickness of the malt. Carbonation is very flat. I was kind of excited about this one, and pretty disappointed. zathrus13 (1310), Mount Laurel, New Jersey, USA

Flavor is chocolate, hops, roasted malt, and some caramel. Kind of sweet throughout, but that’s not a problem. This is a good one. Thanks for this bottle, Andrew.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 27, 2008 Roasted malt and fresh milk aroma. Initial flavor is malty and sweet, but quickly changes to a nice roasted malt and dry hoppy flavor. Finishes with a good hop bite. Very good porter and another winner from Avery. plovmand (1729), Helsinge, Denmark

Pitch black, strong liquorice aroma. Smoke, salt, fennel, coffee. Silky smooth, it lacks the little extra bite to lift it further. But it’s great stuff. tarjei (1755), Bryne, Norway
