This is best to drink while watching Black Adder reruns, one after another. It is much more stable than Rowan Atkinson, but not in a staid way, and certainly makes equally creative use of its constituent parts. I prefer bolder porters, but this one is well put together and its hearty dark maltiness is sleek with bitters.

Dec 23, 2009 Bottle. Chocolate malt and lemon grass hops aroma. Dark brown color with small head. Chocolate malt and charcoal flavor. Mild grassy hops finish. Fairly light body. Nice taste - would be a great beer if it had a bit more body.

Dec 22, 2009 A dark brown beer with a nice looking head. The aroma had some chocolate. The taste was very chocolatey, slight roastedness & a creamy mouthfeel. This is a nice porter with a fair amount of hops.

Dec 17, 2009 Pours a dark brown/black. Aroma of chocolate and vanilla. Taste is malt forward with a chocolate and coffee flavor. Slightly bitter finish with a smokey flavor. Overall, a nice porter. I liked the Aroma better than the flavor.

Dec 9, 2009 Milk chocolate and fruity nose. Black/brown color, with a red hue hidden deep, medium tan head. Roasted sweet malts, spicy bitterness. Huge carbonation, medium body, spicy chocolate finish. Maybe a little big on the roasted malts, but a pretty solid Porter, spicy fruity components make it stand out.

Dec 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a giant, frothy-creamy, brown head. Lasting, pitted and lacy. Deep, clear, ruby-cola brown body. Big dark, bitter chocolate and coffee roast nose. More prominent roast character in the flavor profile along with a dash of ash. Underlying bitter chocolate and hints of fireplace smoke. Medium, fairly well attenuated body. Average carbonation for the style. Nice roasty dry finish. Probably my favorite robust porter to date. Full of flavor. As an added bonus, it only clocks in at 5.4%. Time for another!

Dec 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours near black (a bit closer to brown on the outside) with a medium brown head that dissolved quickly. Aroma is full of malts with a bit of chocolate, nuttiness and roasted notes. Flavor is similar to the aroma with a bit more of dark grain notes.

Dec 4, 2009 12 oz bottle in trade with Soonah. Pours a dark brown with mahogany edges with a good 1/2" beige head that slowly recedes leaving rings of brown lace. Roasted malt aroma with a hint of coffee. Moderate in body. Flavor is chocolate malt with some coffee and a hint of vanilla. Nice porter.
