| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 10, 2005 Fresh, somewhat sweet aroma with hints of fruit. Dark reddish amber in color with cascading lace. Intersting flavor. Soft, but appears heavier in alcohol than the other BR brews I have tried. Something amateurish, however. Overly carbonated, but a full-bodied brew and very good. BeerHawk (1175), Huntsville, Alabama, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 23, 2008 Draft in Chattanooga. Black in the glass with a creamy tan head that settles to a thin lasting layer which leaves light lace. Nice coffee and chocolate aroma. The flavor also has coffee and chocolate with a roast backing. Medium body with a roast coffee bitter aftertaste. Nice! gte620v (29), Georgia, USA

A one fingered tan head arrived on this over chilled mug of black colored brew.
As it warmed, some chocolate and coffee came through to join the roasted malt aroma. Good body, smooth and easy drinking. boto (1340), Granby, Connecticut, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 30, 2006 Draught in Chattanooga: This one pours a dark opaque brown. There was a fair amount of a tan head on it, although it didn’t leave much lacing. The aroma was OK. It was mainly roasty coffee with some chocolate notes. It is a medium bodied brew. The flavor mainly roasted coffee notes. Some dryness and earthiness also. Neither sweet nor bitter. A decent porter. BückDich (4854), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 13, 2004 Atlanta (Winter Nip): Dark ruby color, creamy light head and lots of lacing (sampler in a brewpub, this is the standard here). The aroma is lightly spicy and hoppy, caramel malts are present and lots of darker specialty malts fill in the mouthfeel in the back. The flavor is slightly medicinal, but negligable as this is easy to drink. Finishes sweet at first on the palate but dries out from the hops with a subdued bitterness. A good winter beer from the far off lands. Beershine (2749), Traipsing Around, Cambodia
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 13, 2009 Opaque black with nice tan head and mine came with a horseshoe design for good luck. Very nice chocolate and charcoal aroma with lots of chocolate malt. Soft and creamy mouthfeel. Lots of smoke in the finish, adding to the nice flavor profile. Toasty too. Not complex but a solid brew.
