Maverick34 (508), New York, USA Dec 1, 2008 Bottled. Pours dark w/ decent sized head. Malt roast etc aroma but pretty subtle. Very smooth. thejoeshow (167), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Nov 28, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark, dark brown with a big, aggressive tan head that has great retention and wonderful lacing. Aroma is slight roast with a little chocolate, but there is not a really big nose that I can find. Flavor is rich and creamy with a nice subtle burnt note at the end. There are high spots of chocolate here and there that pop up once in a while. This is one of the smoothest porters I have ever had. This beer is delicious!!! One worth hunting out for sure! cbeers21 (456), Miami, Florida, USA Nov 28, 2008 On tap. Deep black with decent tan head, not too much lacing. Restrained aromas, and they never really came through even after ample time to warm up. Still the body was full and toasted with a warm peaty smokiness giving way to a prolonged but tempered dusty hop bittering. Solid brew for sure. slimchill (694), Austin, Texas, USA Nov 27, 2008 Bottle. Nose is chocolate and roasted coffee. Pours black with a bubblly brown head, almost inky. The flavor is intense chocolate and coffee, very well rounded with nearly no hop presence outside of balance. Thick palate is completely engulfing and intensely drinkable. RuneStumo (158), FØRRESFJORDEN, Norway Nov 21, 2008 30.10.2008, 0,5l Tap. Nicks Pacifica, CA. Black colour withe a brown head. Aroma is soft and mellow. Smooth.
