Not sure if I simply had a bad bottle but the aroma was a bit sour and the dark brown pour from a 12 oz bottle was a bit flat with minimal carbonation and and nearly absent head. Flavor wasn’t bad but wasn’t anything to get worked up about. I’ll come back and try this again later to see if it improves with another try. Not a bad beer..but this is Bells...They’ve raised the bar a bit.

Sep 6, 2008 A dark clear brown porter with a thin light moka head. Aroma of chocolate and brine, coffee and wet dog. In mouth, a light sweet chocolate and bitter chocolate or coffee, a bit short but still a good porter. Tasted Dec. 2006.

Sep 2, 2008 Courtesy of Juart. Pours a very dark brown / black color with a 1 finger light beige fizzy head that is gone after a few seconds. The aroma is chocolate, caramel, a little bit of cherries, and strong coffee. Has a nice dark roasted flavor. A bold coffee with a dry bitterness and just a little bit of sweetness coming through in the background. The body is a nice medium body with some carbonic bite to it. A nice porter.

Sep 2, 2008 This was real good, probably my favorite from the basic line of Bell’s stuff. Dark and strong, but surprisingly drinkable. Thats where it gets its big scores, easy going down for a big roasty porter. A good chalky body too. If it were a few bucks cheaper we would have the big winner.

Aug 31, 2008 Pours black with minimal head. Heavy carbonation. Has a roasted malt and chocolate aroma. Taste is chocolate with lingering malts. Very light, making it extremely drinkable.
