| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Dec 29, 2003 Dark ruby color with a wonderful, thick head. Mildly roast aroma with a hint of citrus. Very low carbonation, thin body is disappointing. Roasted malts, bread flavors are weak. Leaves a long irritating bitterness that I could have done without. gerdy555 (163), Ohio, USA

Roasted malt flavor. Nice hop bite. Alcohol. Noble hops really come out in the long-lasting bitter aftertaste.
Medium-bodied with a crisp finish. Slightly oily mouthfeel.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 28, 2002 This beer poured a very dark amber color and some carbonation was present. It formed a very good foamy light tan head that held pretty good and left some nice ringed lace as it slowly subsided. The aroma was of hops, malt and coffee. The flavor was of malt and burnt coffee. The finish was a touch lighter than others of this style.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jun 18, 2002 Had a few bottles of this tonight. This brew pours a dark brown ruby. The large rocky
beige head is fully lasting with decent lacing. The cookie like nose is caramel, roasted
chocolate malt, earth, and slight resin and flowers. The bold porterish flavor is deep and
complex with good balance. Low acidity is complimented by a roasted bittersweetness
with a rich coffee and chocolate malt finish that is long and bitter. The outstanding palate
is full, creamy, soft and smooth, with a clean finish. If I tasted this blind, I would swear it
to be a porter. Very well done.
