Bottle courtesy tpd975. Pours a clear dark brown amber with a one finger lasting tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and a hint of smoke.Tastes is chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of bitterness. Very good.

Aug 21, 2008 I really enjoyed this brew. It is not one of those beers that blows you away. It is just a solid easy drinking flavourful beer. pours dark dark brown, almost black. Minimal carbonation which dissipates quickly. flavour that struck me was the slight smokiness which was detectable amoungst the coffee flavour. Really good mouthfeel. smooth and easy drinking. I wish this were more readily available here becaue this would be a good everyday sort of beer.

Aug 21, 2008 Poured dark brown with light ruby and copper highlights. The head was off-white to tan and produced some decent lace. The aroma was roasted malt, light coffee and some chocolate. The flavor followed suit and there was some sour tartness as well on the finish. The mouthfeel was thin to medium in body and overall it was a decent porter.

Aug 18, 2008 Very deep brown with plenty of red. A very deep hued head lasts only a minute before settling into a thin ring. A smoky dark chocolate aroma. Flavors of dark chocolate and coffee. Some dark fruit. Nice dry roasted bitterness. Zesty effervescence and a substantial viscosity. Delicious. So sorry I only bought one.

Aug 18, 2008 Dark opaque pour with a tan head. Roasty aroma with some sour lactic acid. Hints of chocolate and coffee. Very sweet creamy flavor. Fades to bitter roast with some coffee. Bitter hops to finish. Good, easy to drink porter.

Aug 17, 2008 Aroma is chocolate, caramel, burnt coffee and toast, and roasted malt. Appearance is very dark brown with thin dark tan head that fades. Flavor is burnt coffee and toast, chocolate and roasted malts. I also taste something else but not sure what it is...its interesting. Palate is great, full bodied, great carbonation and a roasted bitter aftertaste. Overall, another easy drinker from Bell’s.
