Apr 18, 2008 Black with a decent sized tan head. Aroma of toasted malt and sugar. Flavor is sweet and malty with lots of toasted malt character, some coffee. Very little hop presence. Not bad, but a touch thin.

Sep 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a frothy tan head that leaves good lacing. The aroma is sweet caramel backed with dark fruits. Sweet flavors of caramel, molasses, and hints of roast. Medium body and sweet throughout. Nice porter!

May 11, 2007 Blind tasting, bottled. Extremely good, I thought this was an English beer! Almost black, big, thick brown head. Aroma of chocolate and coffee. Taste coffee, nice degree of bitterness. Very creamy.

Jan 17, 2007 Yeast and more yeast in the aroma. Black in appearance with a thin beige head. Full palate which is nice. Yeasty taste with some roasted malts--but not complex at all.

May 19, 2003 An opaque dark beer with a large creamy tan rocky head. By wafting this has a crisp hop aroma, by sticking your nose in the glass the roasted malt is detected. A spring hop taste with roasted malt. Nice lacing, perception is that this is thin but it feels right at a deceptive 7% ABV. A very drinkable dark beer with an almost citrus quality.

Aug 14, 2006 (500 ml bottle "best before 20.05.06" via trade with Degarth, thanks Joe!) Pours a very dark birch-beer brown with about 1" of almost perfect-looking, tight tan head that slowly recedes to about 1/4" and stays put. Aroma of rich molasses, raisins and chocolate. Mouthfeel soft and creamy, yet also dry and kind of prickly. Nice rings of lacing. Flavor to me was mostly a dry chocolate, with the moderately sweet molasses and raisins emerging as well. Pretty tasty but was hoping for a bolder, richer flavor. Didn’t really care for the dryishness either. There is a mild alcohol burn as well.

Jan 26, 2008 April 2006 - Wow...I was really liking this. Beer poured dark, dark brown with red highlights, large head with decent lacing. Aroma was odd...didn’t smell like a porter at all. Smelled rather like a hoppy amber or something along those lines. Flavor didn’t match smell (thankfully). Wonderfully smooth chocolatey taste with some molasses mixed in...perfect amount of sweetness. It reminded of a good glass of chocolate milk. Excellent.
