375ml bottle. Clear reddish brown with a reasonable strongly held together head. Little to no aroma present. Sweetish malty up front. Alcohol warmth comes thru as the brew warms up. Is a bit limp and diluted thru the middle/ending. Some roast malt flavours, no overpowering honey nor any real bitterness. Just plain sweet toffee malts really - not that exciting.

Bottle in Tasmania. Deep red colour. Not overly powering of honey to the nose. Great balance between honey sweetness and bitter roasted flavours - though these two flavours dominate the beer. Medium body. Very well balanced beer - a pity it was a limited release and I got one of the last bottles!

Bottle -- Reddy brown (doesn’t look like a porter at all) with fairly active carbonation. Large off-white dense head (you could almost eat it with a knife and fork!) with tremendous retention and loads of lacing. Not a lot of aroma, although some fruit pehaps and malt. Smoooooth mouthfeel. The flavor is malty with a certain tang to it (the honey, I guess) up front, with a bit of a metallic edge later. This beer could be fabulous with a little more earthiness and oomph to it. As it is, it’s a little bland and doesn’t quite hit the spot. Although hats off to Boags for being a little different.

Not too bad, strong honey flavour and slightly creamy which make it pretty tasty. Its a bit too sweet though and the colour is a bit strange.

Dark purple brown with a small creamy head. Slight skunky aroma. Not a porter for mine, as others have mentioned, too thin, too light. Treacle honey presence. But good to see mainstream brewers trying something different, instead of repackaging standard lagers with trendier labeling (empire, st george, etc)
