Nov 23, 2009 Bottle at Tom’s Tasting, April 2009. Dark brown. No head. A bit sour on the palate (not in a good way). Thin mouthfeel. Presumably some infection here but I didn’t find it as unpalatable as the rest of the crew did.

Jul 29, 2009 A Mes rate: bottle at The Cadster’s Spotify tasting.
Thanks to Danny for this. Nice of him to think of me. Sadly the beer was a real mess. Stale, like really stale. What was underneath the problems seemed to be ok,mainly roasty maltbut damn, this has not bottled well at all.

Apr 27, 2009 Bottle at the Spotify tasting. Roasted malt flavour. Coconut and bleach on the flavour. Oh that really is poor. I couldn’t even drink more than 2 sips.

Feb 19, 2009 Pours a dark brown color with a small khaki head. Nose is roasted, coffee, chocolate. Initial taste little smokey, roasted malt, touch of coffee. Definitely getting the burnt flavors. Mid palate displays mild chocolate but mostly dominated by the roasted and burnt flavors. Finishing dry with a above average palate duration. Average head retention. Body is light and drinkable. Definitely a different porter.

Sep 21, 2008 Bottle, from Kramer. Nice deep, rich black color. Flavor was very nice - deep roasted flavors, lots of hops and a nice chocolate finish. Very drinkable. Pretty good.

Sep 16, 2008 I had this in a bottle poured into a wine glass.
Pours a typical dark brown, but with just a little bit of a white head. Smell is a little smokey, not sweet.
Taste is exactly like it smells. It is very light, almost refreshing, but with smokey aftertones. Lots of roasted malts. There is really no sweetness at all. It tastes like a mild rauchbier.
Overall, I’d say this is a lot more drinkable than a typical porter, or a typical rauchbier. I would recommend this for somebody who wants to get into rauchbiers, but it a little afraid. It’s a good beer. Extremely light and drinkable, but still having a complex smokiness to it.
Thumbs up!
