| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 7, 2006 Bottled. Dark ruby red colour, mediumsized foamy beige head. Aroma is dark chocolate and malts. Flavour is coffee, malts and chocolate. Not too much roast in it, which is a bit sad. Otherwise very nice. bhensonb (4387), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 5, 2006 Nutty, toasty aroma with maybe a hint of chocolate. Virtually no head, minimal lacing, but a reddish brown color that is magnificent. Starts with a warm cocoa flavor, passing to some sweetness, but enough hop shows up at the end to balance the whole. This may be the first ale (oops, porter) that I would credit with a nutty characteristic. The mouth feel is stout, the flavor is porter. Really a tour de force. ontario102 (794), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 1, 2006 Sweet, toasty, slightly nutty and slightly roasty aroma, some fruity hops; chocolate, caramel, plum, and date flavor over a somewhat chewy body, smooth, roasty nicely bitter finish; some eathy and musty notes. This has some stout qualities, but it’s all good to me. Very nice. JensenTaster (1588), Denmark
