| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep ruby with a beige head. Darker chocolate aroma with espresso.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 26, 2008 starts out just a bit more than a bit ashy and that was really not good. but time turns that taste into a bit acrid type of roastiness and blends better with the overall good chocolate flavor and mouthfeel of this beer. velvety and flavorful this could be a real winner except that acrid smoke is just... artificial in taste. touch of hops for my palate at best. creamy and a bit sweet. certainly not bad. malrubius (1002), Valley Stream, New York, USA

Mild chocolate and yeast aroma. Roasted chocolate and fruity flavor with biting hoppy carbonation finish. Medium body. Bite settle down a little when some air comes out.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 21, 2008 Bottle. Poured an opaque dark brown with a lightly lacing creamy off-white head that clings to the glass. Rich, almost smoky aroma of roasted malt. Hints of char and chocolate are present on the toasted malt body and this beer finishes with a coffee-like bitterness. Nice blend of bitter sweetness in this Porter. Creamy mouthfilling beer with a light roast aftertaste. Nice. Sparky27 (1596), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear dark brown with a 2 finger light tan head. Nose is cocoa, roasted nuts and toasted malts. Taste is light coffee, roasted malts, mild chocolate and a touch of hops in the finish. Light-to-medium mouth feel. Nothing exciting, but it’s an easier drinker.
