| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 26, 2003 This beer poured a medium sized tan head that contained fine-small sized bubbles that was mostly lasting. It had an opaque body with no carbonation and a reddish-brown hue. The nose consisited of malt, coffee and some hops. The flavor was sweet, somewhat bitter, chocolate, and coffee that left a lingering aftertaste. It had a creamy, smooth and dry mouthfeel and it was medium bodied. This beer left a good lacing on the sides of my glass. This beer reminded me more of a stout than a porter and it had a little too much of a coffee flavor for my tastes.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 26, 2003 Reddish brown hue with good tan head and some lace. The aroma hinted of toasted malts, semi-sweet chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut coffee, and aromatic hops. Taste started out sweet and nutty and developed a light bitter undertone. Some acidic twang on finish which was coffee dry. The mouthfeel was creamy and soft which was nice. Overall a pretty darn good porter, almost stout-like. Will have again. frylock (1025), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 24, 2003 A nice solid porter. Roasty, coffee flavors, but in my opinion a bit over-hopped for the style. A good porter none the less dirtymike (2018), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 22, 2003 This brew poured a small head of fine to medium sized bubbles that were mostly lasting and left a xxxx lacing and a uncarbonated opaque dark brown colored body behind. Its aroma is verly mildly sweet malted. THe mouthfeel is smooth with a slight bitter hop finish to it. The flavor is of coffee malt and some dark chocolate. An average porter with no real outstanding qualities or characteristics. DaSilky1 (2016), San Diego, California, USA
