Nov 23, 2004 Bottle, best by date is 3/15/05. Black body under a big brown head. This porter doesn’t mess around! Full and satisfying aroma, flavor and mouthfeel. Coffee roast nose tempered by some honeyed biscuit. Trending on the bitter side the flavor starts with coffee, a lesser amount of chocolate, cigar smoke, and that same acid tartness. Long dry smokey coffee bean finish. A wonderfully bitter porter; kudos to Heemer for throwing this beer my way!

Nov 13, 2004 Apparently I missed something. This felt way too sour to me. It hada good aroma, and it looked nice. I just couldn’t stand the taste of this. It was sour and bitter. Not my style. I’ll have to try it once more to rule out a bad bottle, but I doubt my results will end up any different.

Oct 16, 2004 I love this beer. One of my very favorites. Dark with tan head. Malty bitter coffee flavor. Everything it does, it does very well.

Oct 4, 2004 Staying deep tan head atop a dark brown beer. Light woody aroma, but the flavor is full, smoky and nutty, with a sharp bitter end.

Oct 2, 2004 Small light brown head, short lived, slim lace. Dark brown with red edging. Faint malt, roasty nose. Light body, thin. Light caramel notes on the palate, cola like flavors. Pop mouthfeel. Dry finish. Thanks Indra.

Sep 20, 2004 Poured opaque ruby black with tan head that thinned, but never left...rich roasty malt aroma...smells very dry...didn’t get nearly as much cocoa as coffee in the flavor dept...body seemed a little thin for the style though...crisp hoppy finish...quite yummy...

Sep 17, 2004 A little on the light side-malt wise for a porter, but I dig it still. Well balanced and an admirable London style porter. Good Stuff!

Sep 3, 2004 Bottle: Poured a opaque dark beer with a medium head with standard retention for porter. Aroma is quite roasty with some notes of chocolate and coffee. Taste is very enjoyable with the chocolate and coffee mixing very well with the roastiness and ending with a subtle dryness in the back of my mouth. Good hops mix with an above average body. This is an easy beer to drink after a nice big dinner.
