| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 28, 2007 Bottle, Brewskis in Fayetteville. Dark brown, small layer of light tan. Toffee/butterscotch aroma, a bit of try toast. Full dry toasty flavor, transitioning to a rather buttery finish. I like a bit of diacetyl in my dark beer, but it might be a little heavy here. Still, not bad. STEPHENDR (478), California, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 7, 2007 22 oz bottle, via STEPHENDR. Pours a very dark brown body under a fizzy brown head one finger in height. A thick coating of lacing remained as it receded. Aroma is chocolaty and roasty with a dry chalky note. A little yeast, burnt coffee, and roasted peanuts. Flavor is roasty with a little burnt malt astringency and a dry chalkiness up front. Finishes dry with a good amount of lingering bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a somewhat watery texture and moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, this was OK, but I think a little heavy handed on the roasted malt and lacking on the chocolate malt. rmussman (905), California, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Nov 19, 2006 Bomber. Thanks, Tever! Jet black. Thick, bubbly tan head that falls to just a film before too long. Humongous coffee and roasty nose. Probably the most coffee-like porter I’ve had. Big coffee on the attack, too, and plenty more throughout the palate. Rich roasts and almonds and a bit of semi sweet chocolate everywhere, but more and more the closer the finish gets. Finish lands dry and nutty and a little puff of hoppy. This is fantastic stuff. Thanks, Tom! footbalm (1218), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 25, 2006 Bottle from Naven. Pours a darkdark brown almost black with a bit of tan foamy head. Very pleasant nose with notes of rosted coffee beans and bakers chocolate. I let it warm in the glass whilst I cooked supper and was able to enjoy a room temp glass of roasted malty chocolatey brew that was perfect with a plate of soy chicken.
