Beerman6686 (1266), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 29, 2008 Pours a very dark brown with hardly a head. Aroma is of roasted malts and a little bit of coffee and dark fruits. Flavor is very sweet almost of a dunkel rather than a porter. MaltDawg (778), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jun 28, 2008 1/2 L bottle. Black with a large frothy tan head. Aroma of caramel and roast malts with raisins and molases hints and a touch of alchohol. Flavor follows aroma with an almost candi sugar sweetness. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Finish is somewhat sweet with some roastyness and a bit of alchohol warming. Way sweet for a porter but still rather tasty. AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Jun 25, 2008 Clear chestnut brown with no head. Nice roasty nutty aroma. Medium body with light carbonation. Nice flavors of dark roasted malts with a lightly sweet black licorice taste. Not too bad. grant (792), Long Beach, CA/Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Jun 21, 2008 Oily brown, moderate quickly waning tan head. Raisiny, sweet, dark-bready aroma with hints of molasses. Quite appealling. Sweet, heavily malty flavor with some more molasses notes, chocolate truffle. Light, but just-right bitterness finishing this out. Perfect carbonation enhances the rich finish. Very enjoyable. jbuzz (658), South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Jun 20, 2008 Single from Three Cellars Milwaukee.
Tan full head, nice dark color. Very light and a bit sweet. I found the taste fuller when it wasn’t so cold.
johntreeter (121), Greenwood, Indiana, USA Jun 17, 2008 16.9oz. bottle. Pours a very deep amber with .5in. short lived tan head that left minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet malt, light milk chocolate notes. Taste is a little sweet for me with flavors of milk chocolate, dark fruits, and cane surgar. Medium to heavy on the body with an almost syrurpy texture and light carbonation. Not bad just too sweet for my taste. phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jun 17, 2008 Pours a dark chocolate colour, nice sweet aroma, little nutty with big bold flavors. Carmel, tofee and a little metallicy.Semi sweet- semi dry, decent all around. flatmatt (221), Northville, Michigan, USA Jun 17, 2008 16.9 oz bottle. Pours opaque black with a fairly large tan head. Aroma is sweet and fruity with prune/raisin scents. Flavor is smooth, malty, dark fruits, and some sweetness and roastiness. Palate’s a bit watery, clean finish.
