| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 16, 2007 Nice black color, with tan, creamy head. Aroma is sweet with some hoppiness and some roasted malt smells. Mouthfeel is rather full, robust. the taste is rich with a very roasted flavor and has some coffee-like flavors, as well. It has a very clean finish, and is highly quaffable. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 13, 2007 Black pour with a big tan head. Smell is roasty, but quite hoppy too. Smells like it will be quite bitter. Taste however is nicely rich and roasted malt, with hints of coffee, a touch of mild hops, but not very bitter like the aroma indicated. Perhaps a touch too carbonated for a porter, but it has a good flavor and character to it and is a nice one overall. 00cobraR (1098), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 8, 2007 Pours out a nice black color with a nice tan head. Aroma is sweet and full of roasted malts. Flavor was not so great at first, but as it warmed it was much better. The finish is very dry and i had to force my self not to guld this brew. kmweaver (2465), Sebastopol, California, USA

Pours a dark cola color; light brown head with good retention. Milk chocolate and roasted malts in the aroma.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 12, 2007 Yummy beer on tap, much hoppier also.
To be fair, I rated this in bottle. Pours with a light head of moderate foaminess. Smells of roasted grain. Okay, okay standard stuff. Taste follows suit, not as much hoppiness. Good, but not great. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA

Sweet roasted malt and chocolate aroma. Sweet chocolate flavor with light roasted malt and cocoa. Burrobuns (81), Columbia, Missouri, USA
