| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Dec 27, 2009 Pours nearly black with brown head. Roasty aromas are present on the nose. On the palate there’s a smoky quality that pairs with the roasty flavors as well. Some malt sweetness is there too, perhaps some spent coffee grounds also. Surprisingly drinkable for such a roasty porter. j12601 (1340), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 25, 2009 Bottle, batch number 9420. Pours a dark black with crimson highlights and a small tanned beige head. Chocolate, light roasted bitterness and a touch of plum sweetness. Medium bodied and full of roast. Not as smooth as could be, but still tasty, and paired up really well with butter cookies. Finishes up with a light roast bitterness and some more chocolate and almost vanilla tones. arminjewell (150), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 23, 2009 Poured dark with a tan head, aroma was woody and smoky. Tastes of slight coffee and chocolate with some smoke in the finish. Overall a decent porter with average qualities. Slipstream (785), USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Dec 22, 2009 I like the drawing on the label of a young man holding oversized fresh grains and hops. Fairly yeasty aroma. A nicely balanced porter, with coffee and smokey malt flavors, and an unexpected light, sweet, minty finish. Very nice mouthfeel. This is a good brew, and one I could easily have more than one of. BlackWarrior (5), Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA does not count | 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 22, 2009 Pours a dark opaque brown, almost black with a nice, tall tan head that quickly disapates. A light roasted, malty aroma. Not too strong. Crisp, lightly carbonated; A toasted, mildly woody or nutty flavor with slight hoppy notes at the finish. Milder all around than anticipated, though this could be due a stuffed nose. A good beer, but fairly unremarkable.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Dec 20, 2009 Really good porter here. lots of roasted malts on the nose. Pours as one might expect, black with a tan head. Coffee and caramel notes on the palate i even get a bit of a nutty character to it. Very complex porter. Another solid one from Bells. Great brew would definitely recommend it.
